Becoming a Better Yoga Instructor

by Rachelle Wilber

Being a yoga instructor can be a rewarding experience for both you and your students. Doing everything that you can to become the best teacher possible will help you develop a steadier clientele and gain more trust and respect from your students. Here are a few tips for becoming a better yoga instructor.

Personalize Each Student’s Experience

Everyone is different, and you’ll want to offer instructions that are suitable for people of various ages and body types. Even if you teach large groups of people at a time, you can still offer everyone lessons that are more on a personal level by demonstrating yoga poses that are suitable for beginners and show other poses that are appropriate for advanced students. Offering one-on-one sessions will make customizing students’ yoga sessions even easier.

Continue Your Education

There is always more to learn about yoga and taking continuing education courses will allow you to learn new information and develop new skills that will help you in your teaching endeavor. You can also check out the various yoga teacher training courses that teach different styles of yoga that might be unfamiliar to you. When you complete any course, you can proudly display the certificate that you’re awarded on the wall of your yoga studio to show off your credibility.

Devise an Easy Payment System

No one likes to go through a lot of hassle when trying to make a class payment, and you’ll make your students’ lives easier by setting up a payment system that’s simple and not confusing to use. You may choose to charge clients on a per-session basis or offer package deals that include a series of classes for a flat fee. If you allow students to pay online, you’ll want to use an online payment system that’s secure and reliable and doesn’t involve a lot of extra steps just to submit payment.







Observe Other Instructors

You can learn a lot by simply observing the ways other yoga instructors conduct their sessions. These instructors can offer you different perspectives on how to teach that may benefit you. Attending a drop-in class at another studio will allow you to see how another instructor teaches and observe his or her strengths and weaknesses. You can also watch videos online that include classes taught by a variety of instructors.

There are many ways to enhance the way that you teach yoga. By acquiring all the right information and making the right changes, you’ll be on your way to becoming the best yoga instructor imaginable.
