Yoga Teacher Training 2.0 (46 books)

Listopia > Yoga Teacher Training 2.0

With the perspective that:

1. yoga is a practice originating in India;

2. yoga as a certified practice has now been colonized, exported, and digested by Western capitalism;

3. yoga is for all persons, regardless of race, gender, body, or fitness level, and;

4. yoga is a profound process of healing from trauma and deep personal integration ;

I am attempting to understand and learn from others through my own yoga teacher training certification program.

Full transparency: I am a cisgender white man studying with a BIPOC female yoga teacher in Ohio, USA.

Recommendations are most welcome. I am not looking for a list of books that I "should" add. Instead, looking for books that inspired others on similar paths.
