Interviewing for a job teaching yoga will depend a lot on where you are interviewing. If it is at a family gym or a YMCA, the standards for certification to teach generally will not be very rigorous. Interviewing to teach yoga at a high-end health club or at a yoga studio will require more credentials, as these places generally have stiffer requirements for teachers. This is not surprising: the pay rate differs widely, too. Teaching at a family rate gym, a yoga teacher may be paid as little as $12 per class to start, while at a high-end health club, that rate may be $75 to $85 for an hour. Pay rates at yoga studios may be based on the number of students in the class and a base rate. Your certifications and years of experience teaching will also dictate how and where you interview.
Breathe During Bikram Yoga
Yoga is often about breath, more than movement. Many new practitioners of Bikram and other types of yoga must learn how to properly breathe as their practice develops. Follow these steps to get it right.
Fix a Slippery Yoga Mat
A yoga mat's main purpose is to provide you with a comfortable cushion on a floor. It also gives your feet and hands the necessary traction that you need to perform your exercises effectively. When not taken care of properly, your yoga mat can accumulate dust, dead insects and other particulate matter, and this can make the mat slippery. To avoid injuring yourself due to a slippery mat, follow these suggestions.
Do Karma Yoga
Karma yoga requires a person to be free of hate, greed, lust and any other negative attributes, because it is the action of selfless service to humanity. Karma works on the philosophy that every action has a consequence, and negative actions will come back to haunt you in the future. However, karma yoga helps purify the heart and lessen the risk of bad karma. Read on to learn about how to do karma yoga.
Open Your Own Yoga Studio
Yoga is a popular past time, which means that it could be a profitable business for you. If you want to open your own yoga studio, you should carefully plan in order to make the business a success. If you've never started a business before, you may want to consider opening a yoga franchise, as you'll likely receive additional business training in the process. You need more than just a yoga teaching certification to start a yoga studio. While local regulations may vary, some of the basics remain the same.
