Must know what to add in your CV to attract the Yoga employers
It is always found that people do not highlight their teaching skills or complete work experience. An employer who is looking to hire someone may not give more then 1 minute of time to your resume if he/she doesn’t find something matching and interesting which you do. Also support yourself mentioning about Yoga style or training experience they are looking for. Also, if you can do multiple things, it will pull employer attention to give extra points while interviewing.
Most import — Yoga is practical practice — show your video, Photo which is matching their requirements.
What do you expect from yourself as Yoga Teacher?
Decide If you are a real Yogi? or a Person who is a Yoga Instructor/ Teacher. Better know what you want from your teaching and why you are a Yoga teacher. Your background plays a vital role. People value you for your work and your wisdom. Clear your purpose and note that if you just want to make money because Yoga is in High demand. You may not be a successful. Sharp your skill to help other and yourself. And if your goal is just making money from Yoga then it is considered that not a right path. You should choose other Industry. You are there to provide Health and peace of mind. If you are just hooked to material pleasure without giving love, kindness, assistance, support, loyalty to others.
