Yoga Therapist

Duties and responsibilities:

Some of the responsibilities that yoga therapists have are to keep their clients health in check. Before anyone tries anything a yoga therapist must first perform the movements, in front of their students. When teaching they also have to assist their students to make sure they do the movements properly. When they have a lot of students they also prepare the groups when class is beginning. And most importantly they monitor clients performance to make sure they aren’t overworked but, relaxed.

Salary:

A yoga therapist will make anywhere from $36,000 to $66,530 USD. This varies on the workplace and level of knowledge. Just like other careers if the demand increases then so will the salary.

Education:

To be a yoga therapist you most likely need a post secondary education, or at least an associate’s degree. After any of these things then you can now apply for an International Association of Yoga Therapists program, however these may have different requirements. To pass you need to put at least 600 hours into the program.

Demand:

The demand for yoga therapists is estimated to grow 24% which will increase the salary of the yoga therapist much greater. This will mean that yoga therapy may be a much more stable job in the upcoming year.

Reflection:

I wouldn’t be a yoga instructor because I don’t think yoga helps in anything. And if I don’t believe in what I teach then I might as well not be it, because I wouldn’t be very enthusiastic about it. I’d rather be something else. Something that involves more work.
