want to share what you’ve learned. Maybe you’ve just graduated from yoga teacher training, and you’re wondering how to take your next steps.

Wherever you are, The Professional Yoga Teacher’s Handbook will help you choose a wise path toward where you want to be. Sage Rountree mines her decades of experience as a yoga teacher, teacher trainer, and studio owner to offer guidance at every turn: Land your first job, and smartly manage your schedule, money, and energy Prepare outside the classroom to ensure that each class is a good one Keep pace with changing Yoga Alliance standards and the expanding world of online teaching React in real time to students’ needs (and gently teach studio etiquette) Figure out whether you want to become a full-time teacher, own a studio, take private clients, lead yoga teacher trainings—or all of the above. Throughout, thoughtful prompts encourage you to articulate your principles, vision, and plans. Instead of telling you what to teach, this book will guide you to your own answers—first and foremost, by asking: How can my teaching be of greatest service to my students?Happiness Hacks: 100% Scientific!

repeated everywhere—in newspaper headlines, on celebrity blogs, even by our well-meaning friends and family. Bad science is no reason to give up good food (we miss you, bread)! It’s high time to distinguish fact from crap. As the Angry Chef, Warner skewers common food myths that range from questionable (“coconut oil is a weight-loss miracle”) to patently dangerous (“autism is caused by toxins”). He also cuts down a host of fad diets—including the paleo diet and the infamous detox. Warner goes on to explain why we’re so easily misled: It has a lot to do with our instinctive craving for simple explanations and straightforward rules. With help from “Science Columbo,” he pares away poisonous rhetoric and serves up the delicious, nuanced truth (with a side of saucy humor). Bon appétit!“Falls can kill you.

Par Sara Gottfried. 2024
New York Times bestselling author Dr Sara Szal Gottfried reveals how trauma can rewire your body to trigger autoimmune diseases…
- and provides a comprehensive plan to reset your immune system and finally healWe know that autoimmune disease - a condition when the body's immune system attacks its own healthy tissue and cells - affects millions of people worldwide. But as New York Times bestselling author Dr Gottfried explains in this eye-opening new book, autoimmune disease may be even more pervasive than we realise - and its cause may surprise you.Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms like severe fatigue, brain fog, aches and pains, feelings of tingling and numbness, stubborn weight gain, abdominal pain, digestive problems, hair loss, insomnia, and even anxiety, and don't realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Emerging research shows that up to 80 per cent of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick.With The Autoimmune Cure, there is hope on the horizon for the tens of millions of people who suffer from autoimmune disease. Dr Gottfried has created a powerful programme designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system and restore your health, with advice on diet, sleep, supplements, breathwork, microbiome restoration, somatic therapy and much more.The Autoimmune Cure offers a road map to lasting relief from autoimmune disease by addressing the underlying cause of the condition and healing the body, mind and spirit.Build strength and balance at any age—just 10 minutes at a timeStaying strong and flexible becomes even more important as…
