Yoga teacher

You would teach yoga as a form of exercise that helps people feel fitter, healthier and happier. With your help, your students would learn how yoga creates balance in the mind and body through exercise, breathing and meditation. You would:

• Teach people yoga postures and breathing and meditation methods

• Design courses and lessons

• Think about the needs of beginners, experienced students and mixed ability groups

• Adapt yoga postures for conditions such as pregnancy or arthritis

• Assess students' progress and achievements

• Review your own courses and teaching skills

You could specialise in teaching particular groups such as pregnant women, or mother and baby classes. Solid training and experience in yoga would be essential. If you want to run your own business, you would also need to be able to manage your own accounts.
