book list

For the teacher training, you will be required to submit four book reports,
limited to 1-2 pages maximum. You'll need to simplify and and concentrate
what you wish to say. Each book report should answer the questions:

•	How will the teachings presented in this text inform your personal practice of yoga?
•	How will it affect you as a teacher?
•	How do you plan to integrate these teachings into your classroom?

The four reports should cover the following yogic principles/texts:

•	The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
•	The Eight Limbs of Yoga
