Yoga Course Books for 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Japan

Are you ready to do what it takes to become an ideal yoga teacher?

“What books should I go through before , during and after yoga teacher training?” This is a common question that arises in the mind of every yogi, which raises his curiosity on the subject. As a student of yoga teacher training, you will feel a sense of achievement on your graduation day, yet the desire to explore more and continue the learning path may linger on in your mind. Learning is infinite.

Even as a teacher, you will still continue learning. Your yoga teacher training course itself may demand the reading of many books to foster your learning experience. Reading books on yoga should ideally be a habit inculcated by a yogi prior to the commencement of the yoga teacher training course, during the course and should carry on even after the course completion. Thus it should be a lifelong practice.

In addition to the ancient texts, you will find innumerable contemporary ones as well to further your development spiritually and encourage your growth as a knowledgeable yoga teacher.

Here is a list of inspirational books that will encourage and support your practice and teaching of yoga:

Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda

This is an interesting classic autobiography on Paramahansa Yogananda. It narrates his life story right from his childhood days in India to his journey on the quest for a guru and his experiences as a spiritual speaker and teacher later in America. The book also educates the reader on the history of yoga and its inception in the American continent.

Be Here Now by Ram Dass

A spiritual classic, Dass tells us his story of spiritual awakening witnessed by him, and the enlightenment journey. You will also get an insight into the practical exercises like visualisation meditation and breathing practices which you can inculcate in your daily regimen as well as teachings.

“Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives” – by Dr. Brian Weiss

Do you fear death? Get rid of this conventional thinking and look at death from a different perspective , with Dr.Brian Weiss’ s work on ‘Many Lives, Many Masters.’ Several yoga scriptures talk about the subject of reincarnation , this book serves as a bridge linking East and West, via its presentation of reincarnation in an appealing manner.

Light on Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar

Bible to the yoga teacher, this book gives readers an insight into the 8-limbed path including a number of postures . It portrays the poses being performed by the young Mr.Iyengar – one of the founders of modern yoga in the western world. Opt for this book and possess it for life! It serves as a handy reference too ,many a time, as you continue exploring your yogic journey throughout.

Yoga is a practice that is lifelong. The routine practice of ‘Svadhyaya’ fosters the habit in yogis to conduct self-study sand includes the reading of spiritual and holy texts .

Yogic food to suit yogic lifestyle

Best Yogic food in bali

 

Each time you work on a yoga pose or practice pranayama, you intensify your capacity to exercise control over your focus, breath and  body. Likewise, as you delve deeper into the yogic philosophy, you will find yourself eating, sleeping and thinking like a yogi!  And when it comes to eating, diet certainly plays a significant role. 

It is a known fact, that food is an important element and life-giving energy to the human body. The quality and type of food impact our physical and mental well-being. When nutrition is talked of from a yogic perspective, it includes much more than just the nutritional content of the food. As a full-fledged yogic practice demands the proper supplementation of the body with nutrients, the energetic aspect of nutrition is also to be taken into consideration while determining your choice of diet.

Meat or no meat?- The dilemma

Many yogis are faced with this question. As heard from many, practitioners feel that after long hours of practice, there comes a point when they do not really feel right or ready to consume non-vegetarian food anymore!

So what is the correct yogic diet (Sattvic Diet)?

Have you ever observed the impact that your food intake has been having upon your practice of yoga?  It has been evident that some foods might wreck internal turmoil in the form of bloating or other such digestion disorders. On the other hand, there are some foods that are said to be more subtle and suitable to the body and mind.

The concept of Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, enlightens us on the impact of different foods on our overall physical, spiritual and mental well-being. As per Ayurveda, “Sattva” denotes purity in quality of  the self-control and spiritual well-being as apparent in the form of intelligence, virtue, awareness and happiness. Thus foods that are sattvic, promote purity in terms of both mind and body. They help nurture the mind – one that is clear, filled with compassion and keeps calm.

Following Sattvic diet

The good news for yogis is that Sattvic foods are absolutely vegetarian! Thus no animals are harmed in the making of such foods as they do not contain any animal products. These foods should be naturally cultivated and should not include any harmful preservatives, additive substances or artificial flavors.  

What does a Sattvic diet or Food consist of?

A sattvic diet generally includes:

  • Fresh, organically grown  fruits and vegetables
  • Nuts and whole grains
  • Dairy – based foods example ghee (clarified butter ) and milk
  • Lentils
  • Beans
  • Oils that are plant-based
  • Foods with mild sweetness containing natural and unrefined sugars
  • Spices such as turmeric, ginger, coriander, basil and cinnamon

How is Sattvic diet beneficial?

A sattvic diet aids in sharpening your intellect. According to the Bhagavad-Gita, the sattvic diet is said to be light and easy–to–digest. Being enriched with prana or purity, it fosters positive thoughts and satisfaction of the mind.  Following such a diet can keep you alert, refreshed and peaceful.
