How to Find Your Voice

A seriously great place to start is to copy and borrow. Emulation is an incredibly helpful starting point, not just because you’ll find lovely tidbits that may stick with you forever, but also because you will very quickly notice what is not your voice or style.

Fifty-Four Complete Themes

These are like recipes in a cookbook—you might like to follow them closely at first, then tweak them according to your tastes and the ingredients on hand thereafter. Perhaps you’ll wind up cobbling new themes together by combining the templates in unique ways. It’s all up to you and what feels most true to your voice and your students’ needs.

Creating Your Own Themes

Once you’ve grown comfortable exploring our recipes, you can use the templates in the back of the book and at http://teachingyogabeyondtheposes.com to create your own themes and notes. We hope you will find years of inspiration in the process.
