The teaching of yogic practices is a new experience for students, teachers and beginning teachers alike. This book is intended to sere as a guide to lead from the unknown territory of teaching yoga to the known territory of successful and efficient teaching of yogic practices. It is hoped that it will smoothen the path of the student-teacher or a new teacher of yoga and afford a happier and more profitable learning experience on the part of the yoga students.

Before one begins teaching yoga it is necessary that the teacher is fully convinced about the contributions that various practices can make in the area of Education and for the well being of children and young people as well as adult students. The teacher should be fully aware of the unique benefits of the programme of yogic practices to the growth and development of individual students in relation to the other school programmes. Without realizing these preliminaries to teaching, the teacher will not be able to make available the rich and rewarding experiences of yogic practices to the participants. The teaching of a class must result in a happy and pleasant experience.

"Teaching Methodology of Yogic Practices" has been a curriculum subject for the students of the G.S. College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis for many years. It is also becoming an essential subject in the training courses of yoga teachers elsewhere. The authors have been long associated with the handling of this subject in the G.S. College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis and this book is based on their personal experience of teaching students at many different levels of development.
