In the first yoga class, I sweated wildly, sweat dripped down my arms and cheeks, and my muscles trembled uncontrollably. After class, I collapsed directly on the yoga mat, but I felt that my whole body and mind were relaxed and my body seemed to be lighter, so I did not hesitate to apply for the annual card of the yoga studio. Later, there were more and more classes, and I found that I really liked yoga, so I wondered if I could develop my hobby into a career.
With this idea, I always talk to the teacher more after class. At that time, I also had a lot of confusion in my heart, such as whether I could become a yoga teacher without foundation, whether the follow-up training would have a lot of requirements for physical fitness, and the teacher was also very good, especially patiently answering my questions. Facts have proved that practice can change many physical conditions, which will not become an obstacle on the road. Every teacher will also share many stories about becoming a teacher. My yoga teachers come from all walks of life, including company administration, operation and sales, and kindergarten teachers. Haha, although everyone has different reasons for changing careers, their love for yoga is the same.
Taking a training class is the first step to becoming a yoga teacher.
Under the recommendation of my former teacher, I got to know the teacher who gave me a teaching and training class later and began to study teaching and training. Teaching and training courses are divided into full-time and part-time (weekend). Because I usually have to go to work, all the teaching and training courses I attend are part-time, and the whole training course lasts about half a year (each training institution is different).
Usually the first step to become a yoga teacher is to attend a training class and get a qualification certificate. At present, the more recognized stepping stone certificates on the market include the national yoga alliance qualification certificate RYT200 and the Asia-Pacific international yoga instructor certificate. It is better to get a double certificate in one training, which is more worry-free. There is no need to worry too much about the initial yoga teaching and training, and there will be no high threshold. Most students have no foundation and can systematically understand and learn yoga from scratch. Course Content Each yoga studio will set up different courses according to its own characteristics and understanding of yoga, but they will basically cover: the origin of yoga, basic musculoskeletal research, sports injury research, hatha early, advanced asana, breathing control methods, the use of auxiliary tools in teaching, and the series of courses and asana. There will also be some special courses in your own yoga studio, such as Ayurveda (Indian traditional Chinese medicine), yoga nutrition and the practical experience accumulated by the coach himself.
Substituting classes is a popular part-time form, and the average class fee is between 100- 120.
Some yoga studios can provide excellent students with internship opportunities after graduation, which is a good opportunity to accumulate work experience. There is also a yoga studio in the market where you can receive the training of teacher Xiao Bai bit by bit. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Everything will be fine after this stage. If you want to take a part-time job, you can find one or two fixed courses or join some yoga classes. There will be many job opportunities in the group. At present, the class fee of yoga specialized courses is between 100- 120 yuan, and the class fee of air and vitality can sometimes reach about 150 yuan, and each class is generally 45-60 minutes. 1996 I met a little girl who was a substitute teacher at that time. She has been a part-time yoga teacher for five years, and she is usually not very busy. The average monthly part-time substitute fee can be around 7 thousand.
How to choose a genre? Personally, I prefer physical therapy and postpartum repair.
There are many schools of yoga and rich courses, such as hatha yoga, mobile yoga, Yin yoga, Iyengar, Ashtanga, wheel yoga, aerial yoga and chair yoga. The demand of the public in the market is constantly changing, and the yoga studio is also changing courses with the market, even leading the market demand, which also requires yoga teachers to continue their studies and participate in yoga training classes in various schools according to their own needs.
Personally, I prefer physical therapy and postpartum repair. Now everyone is under great pressure at work, and most of them are working at their desks. Low back pain and cervical pain are very common symptoms. Physical therapy yoga can greatly improve the effect. In addition, with the enhancement of health and body management awareness and the liberalization of the second and third child policies, there will be a great market for maternity and postpartum repair. At present, these two courses are mostly presented in the form of private education, and the course cost of private education is very different, mainly depending on the level of teachers and the course itself. The entry-level class fee is generally 150 yuan per class.
Because of my love of yoga, part-time job will not be my pressure and burden, but a way to relax. Finally, I wish everyone can develop their favorite things into careers.
