Requirements Yoga instructors have to be passionate about the spiritual healing system. They need to practise every day to stay in shape, and there is no place in the profession for someone who lacks a genuine interest in it.
They also have to love working with people. Good communication skills are important as there is constant interaction with students.
Qualifications There are various yoga courses that eventually lead to a teaching level. Courses approved by the Yoga Alliance of the United States are well regarded but not the only way to become a teacher.
How good a yoga instructor is depends on how long they have practised it and their passion for it.
Average salary Yoga instructors are paid by the hour or by the session. They make HK$300 to HK$500 a session, depending on their experience and reputation.
Work prospects How your career as a yoga teacher develops depends on your passion and your ability to inspire your students.
Good yoga instructors will find themselves increasingly in demand because they will get referrals from students inspired by their teaching.
