Light on Yoga by BKS Iyengar

From the Founder & Lead Trainer:

“Yoga teacher training changed my life in a big way. I thought I was signing up to learn how to master “advanced” poses -but I had no idea that a major life transformation was on the horizon for me. Yoga isn’t just what we see on the surface, but a lifestyle that embodies connection. Yoga is a continuous journey of self exploration and learning to let go. It tones the body, stills the mind, and teaches us to return to oneness. Whether or not you decide to teach yoga, taking a yoga teacher training will deepen your practice, inspire self awareness and give you the tools to still the fluctuations of the mind.'“

-Crystal Cerrato, Founder of BLYS

Tons of creativity encouraged in sequencing, but still retaining structure in an easy to learn and easy to teach fashion. Materials and provided text book are very intentional and detailed. I couldn't think of a better way to begin teaching yoga!
