Based on ancient Vedic wisdom, these essential teachings of yoga offer powerful insights that can quickly elevate your life to new heights of happiness, inner peace, and fulfillment. While unfolding the thirty verses of Ramana Maharshi's brilliant masterpiece Upadesha Saram, this modern-day translation & commentary is unparalleled in its capacity to clarify the soul's journey to Self-Realization. The author lucidly explains that only by regaining awareness of Being, liberating oneself from subconscious conditioning and living intensely in the Now, can enlightenment occur. The framework of the soul's journey that is presented is awe-inspiring, and as you walk this profound path you will learn how to connect to the indestructible essence of your Being and discover that "the state of Self-Realization is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to effective and appropriate communication through words and touch between yoga teachers and their students. Clear, effective verbal communication and judicious touch are two skills that Judith Hanson Lasater feels are essential for every yoga teacher. In Teaching Yoga with Intention, she gives pointed advice on how to interact verbally with students in class and how to appropriately use touch to make corrections. Drawing from her fifty years of yoga experience and her training in Nonviolent Communication, Lasater trains yoga teachers to effectively communicate not only technique, but also the more subtle lessons of respect, empathy, and compassion. She also shines an unflinching light on the use of touch in yoga. Teachers often use touch to create understanding and awareness in the poses. But this is a subtle art, and Lasater gives clear guidance on how, where, and when the use of touch can be used appropriately to further a student's development. In this book, Lasater also empowers students by encouraging them to take ownership of and responsibility for their practice. She covers myriad topics that can be difficult for students at any level to navigate, such as how and when to say "no" to an adjustment; keeping boundaries; when to leave a class; helping your teacher understand your needs; how to communicate your appreciation to your yoga teacher; and if and when to report a teacher's behavior. The skills that Lasater offers help create a safe environment for students to "own" their learning process, and to progress technically at their own speed.
