Title: Tales from the Yoga Studio
Author: Rain Mitchell
Genre: Novel
Synopsis: A low-key local yoga teacher with a special gift for reaching people is targeted as the “Next Big Thing” by a high-powered company.
My thoughts: I made a connection right away. It reminded me of some of my gifted yoga teacher friends and what might happen if suddenly someone wanted to pay them a lot of money and make them famous. Would they sell out and become part of the yoga machine or would they stay true to themselves?
Being a part of a small studio that flies under the radar for most people, but totally changes lives, I identified with this story. How would I react if suddenly our studio became overrun with the rich and famous? Or worse, if the teachers suddenly became like unattainable rock stars?
So are you ready to read this book yet?
A super quick read with some very likeable characters that clearly struck a nerve for me. I recommend reading it especially if you have a beloved teacher who (you hope) isn’t ever going to be on the cover of a yoga magazine.

Teacher Goes Back to School 
So who won???
To me a great teacher is one that spreads their light and love to the entire class – with contagious enthusiasm and one that shares a little yogic wisdom that you can take off the mat.
Will tweet this as well!

I liked your blog on FB!
A great yoga teacher is someone who knows that yoga is for every body, and finds a way to guide each person on a unique journey! I am lucky to have a teacher who has done this for me!
Yay, I tweeted!
To me, a great yoga teacher is someone who creates the space (environment/sequence/permission/intention/theme) for the student to experience themselves; one who encourages inquiry and self-exploration.

What makes a great yoga teacher? The ones I’ve really enjoyed, for me personally, were ones that also educated you on what the particular pose does for the body. I also like a great guided final relaxation!
