In Sage Rountree’s twenty years of training yoga teachers, she’s heard the same concerns: How can I help my students best? How can I keep my teaching fresh? How can I make smart choices around my schedule, my money, and the next steps in my career?
 
Many teachers graduate with little or no understanding of the true state of the profession, or of how to find their first teaching job and do it well. The Professional Yoga Teacher’s Handbook speaks directly to their concerns in a warm, friendly voice, with journal prompts and sidebars of stories from Sage’s two decades of teaching experience.
 
Coming on the heels of her successful workbook Teaching Yoga Beyond the Poses, this book boosts teachers’ confidence in their ability to construct a heartfelt, balanced class, and to build a career that suits them and their students. It teaches them to be wise, clear, professional, and helpful to their students, no matter what style or level of yoga they teach.
 
The Professional Yoga Teacher’s Handbook helps teacher trainers guide their students to the highest level of professionalism, benefiting students, teachers, and studios alike. It fits a need for continuing education for existing yoga teachers, many of whom have not had guidance in making smart choices around their class, their clients, and their careers. With Sage’s down-to-earth advice and thoughtful workbook exercises, the book prompts teachers to help themselves become more professional and successful, at any stage of their career.
