Considered the "teacher of teachers," Donna Farhi has led international yoga retreats and trained yoga instructors around the world for over thirty years. In Teaching Yoga, she shares the knowledge she's gained from her decades of experience, exploring with depth and compassion a variety of practical and philosophical topics such as:

- The student-teacher relationship and how to create healthy boundaries
- How to create physical and emotional safety for the student
- Reasonable class sizes and how much they should cost
- How to conduct the business of teaching while upholding the integrity of yoga as a philosophy, a science, and an art
