1. Many people that have a health career and enjoy the benefits of yoga, secretly wish they could pass some of these benefits on professionally. No surprise. This desire to share comes naturally to these heath care professionals.

2. Imagine pulling one of the many yoga techniques out of your yoga teacher toolkit, and helping a fearful client sitting in the chair waiting for a procedure or the tense mother lying on the massage table.

3. Think that to become a yoga teacher means you have to stand on your head? I totally agree with the Kripalu thinking that Yoga is less about standing on your own head and more about standing on your own two feet.

4. If you can breathe, you can do yoga. There are many tales about individuals literally nurturing their body back step by step from immobility to slight movement to movement with yoga breathing. Such a gift.

5. Funny how while studying to be a yoga teacher as an add on to your health career, you yourself automatically embark on a healing journey. You discover how to help your unique body mind function better; you experience more ways to natural health through holistic yoga.

6. Yoga fitness is for the physical body. Holistic yoga is for the body mind and spirit. All three are with us, and body mind and spirit need equal attention if we are to be happy and healthy.

7. Somehow being able to touch the toes has been associated with yoga. It is one of those myths right up there with yoga being a religion. What we actually want to touch in yoga is our true self.
