Publisher's Synopsis
The narrator, a passionate yoga practitioner since his teenage years, becomes a yoga teacher after eleven years of rigorous asana practice. Initially feeling too young and unqualified, he enrolls in a teacher training course under the guidance of Cyndi Lee. This experience motivates him to become a teacher. After the training, he joins a community of like-minded yogis, desiring to live in harmony with nature and mindful of their choices. Teaching yoga was uncommon at the time, but the narrator perseveres, and by 1998, with the growing popularity of yoga, he transitions from a fledgling teacher to a sought-after one. However, commercialization brings challenges, with debates about diluting ancient yoga ideas and the elitist perception due to celebrity adoption. In 2010, the narrator meets Taro Smith, and together they develop an online course for yoga teachers, addressing the challenges of teaching yoga in a crowded market. With the success of the course, they establish their company, 90 Monkeys, dedicated to providing online and in-person educational resources for yoga teachers
