Book SynopsisThe definitive guide to effective and appropriate communication through words and touch between yoga teachers and their students.Clear, effective verbal communication and judicious touch are two skills that Judith Hanson Lasater feels are essential for every yoga teacher. In Teaching Yoga with Intention, she gives pointed advice on how to interact verbally with students in class and how to appropriately use touch to make corrections.

She covers myriad topics that can be difficult for students at any level to navigate, such as how and when to say "no" to an adjustment; keeping boundaries; when to leave a class; helping your teacher understand your needs; how to communicate your appreciation to your yoga teacher; and if and when to report a teacher''s behavior. The skills that Lasater offers help create a safe environment for students to "own" their learning process, and to progress technically at their own speed.

Emerald Publishing Limited Cabin Fever: Surviving Lockdown in the
Book SynopsisThis fascinating and timely book examines the distressing psychological syndrome of 'cabin fever' in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the greatest confinement of people to their homes in history, offering antidotes for it. Exploring the definitions and social and cultural history of cabin fever, a condition provoked by prolonged isolation, the book will be of interest to anyone concerned about the impact of current or any future pandemic lockdowns, prison life, remote living, or even travelling to Mars.Trade Review‘Reading this book pulled me out of the particulars of my lockdown woes and gave me a much deeper cultural and historical frame for our current predicaments. I left buoyed, alive, and clear that we are not alone. We have been in difficult situations like this before, and Cabin Fever shows us how we can navigate them not only with the resources of science, but, also, and refreshingly, with the arts, humanities, and just plain good writing.’ -- Bradley LewisIn this pithy and masterful book, the Crawfords reveal how the isolation we’ve faced through the covid pandemic sits within a tradition of confinement that human beings have endured for centuries. Their colourful examples describe how humans have faced cabin fever across a panoply of social and historical contexts and, in so doing, they open our minds to the wide range of attitudes we can take towards it. As Cabin Fever reveals the commonalities in how people have experienced confinement across history, we find ourselves in the company of the whole of humankind. -- Amy Pollard, Founder and Director of Mental Health CollectiveIn a short but illuminating book, Crawford and Crawford offer an engaging, impressively researched and highly accessible treatise on [...] cabin fever. -- Tom Douglass * Sociology of Health & Illness *Table of ContentsChapter 1.
