Donna Farhi’s book Teaching Yoga: Exploring the Teacher-Student Relationship
outlines what ethical practice in yoga should be. It discusses money, sex, boundaries, and
confidentiality, among other things. It’s
also a short read, even with the exercises at the end.
Most of the books I read
are useful for both fitness enthusiasts and professionals. This book, obviously, is designed for
teachers, but I suppose anyone deeply interested in one way to live out one’s
yoga could find it interesting.
It is unfortunate that
someone needs to remind yoga teachers (and other professionals in fitness,
since I have read similar chapters if not books from both Pilates and personal
training angles) about how to be a decent human being in the context of work,
but there it is. None of us is perfect
and having ground rules out there is a good idea.
Let’s all be kind and
good to each other while respecting each other’s boundaries.
