Bali Yoga Teacher Training Reading List

Summary - Readings, Colourings & Movie for YTT

Please read/colour these 3 books with the note summary and submit a summary (handwritten or digital, length up to you) before the beginning of the training. This is part of your 20 hour preparation for the yoga teacher training. 

* Heart of Yoga – T.K.V. Desikachar

* Loving What Is – Byron Katie

* The Yoga Anatomy Colouring Book – Kelly Solloway

(colour in minimum 16 labelled drawings and send photos) 

Plus please watch this you tube video or Netflix movie on the “Blue Zones”:

Netflix: Live to 100 – the Secrets of Blue Zones

OR

You Tube: Blue Zones – Secrets of a Long Life

If you sign up late and do not have the time to read all of them, you may hand it in after the training and receive the certificate digitally once done. The summaries may be handwritten or digital and can be as long as you choose. What is important is your demonstration of understanding.

These books are suggested reading and not obligatory.

Reference

Please have these books in hard or soft copy at home. In Bali, however, due to the flight and luggage restrictions, please ONLY bring the “Light on Yoga” Book to Bali – thank you!

Books may be bought in hard copy or kindle, except reference books.

We suggest to order the following books in soft/hard cover, because you will look through them happily for a lifetime as reference: Light on Yoga, Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras

Please be aware that the German Book List is different – please check the German section of this website!
