Should I Become a Yoga Instructor?

When you want to become a yoga instructor, you are going to have to make sure you fulfill any requirements that the place where you want to teach requests.

One additional point to make: Each facility is unique and may require different teachers for different classes. If you are a Restorative teacher, don’t expect to get an audition for the Power Yoga teaching position.

Training with an Egotistical Yoga Teacher

Yoga practices are based on an awakening of the divine awareness within our own beings. When this inner divinity is awakened and respected, that sense of respect radiates outward from the core of our beings to everything that we think and do.
