Why Become a Certified Yoga Teacher?

Inspire Students & Change Lives
There are very few jobs that provide you with the opportunity to impact the lives of so many people on a daily basis. Every time you get up in front of a class of yoga students, you’ll have the opportunity to truly inspire people. What an amazing gift, and what a great job!

• Deepen Your Practice
  You’ll be amazed how much you learn from teaching yoga. Students come to class looking for guidance, but they also give back an incredible amount of energy and insight.

• Enjoy a Flexible Schedule
  Many yoga teachers are former office rats who are looking for something different and a new lifestyle. Most yoga teachers I know only work 3 or 4 hours per day, and the rest of the time is yours to do as you please. You’ll then have the time to explore your other interests that you love, but haven’t had time to pursue because you’ve been working at a fulltime job that doesn’t fulfill you.

• Live and Breathe Yoga
  Living a healthy lifestyle is not easy. When you start down the path of yoga, friends and family are often unable to relate to what you’re doing. One great thing about teaching is that your new co-workers are on the same path as you, so you have a new social support system to keep you focused on living and breathing yoga.

• Earn a Good Salary
  Years ago, most yoga teachers hardly earned enough to get by; but today, Yoga Alliance certified yoga teachers are highly specialized and highly valued employees who are paid very well for their work.

• Live/Work Anywhere
  The world is a big place, but the yoga community is very small. As a yoga teacher, you’ll meet people from all over the world, and you’ll discover that there are opportunities to teach yoga everywhere.
