A wonderful resource for Kundalini yoga teaching, and for being a teacher of anything. Yogi Bhajan understands and explains being a teacher as being a sacred channel - 'A Teacher is an institution for help, for service, for raising people's consciousness, and granting them the heavens.' The transcription of a series of classes that Yogi Bhajan gave on teaching yoga examines a myriad of facets of this idea, using meditations to help integrate all the ideas. Doing Kundalini teacher training and working with his thoughts on teaching has given me respect and confidence in myself as a teacher, not just for yoga but for all the things I teach.
What a pity it was set in a sans serif typeface, which is so difficult to read, especially with the long lines on the wide pages. I hope that more experienced typesetters will improve any reprints of this book by setting it in a serif typeface.

I enjoyed this very much although it was not my favorite since I did not understand it well. I remembe it was a little bit about classes and the Third Eye. My favorite part was that it was about Yogi Bahjan's classes.
