Instructions
Step 1
Start by mastering the theoretical framework. Yoga is not just a set of physical exercises. Each asana has a meaning, their sequence is usually well thought out and aimed at solving various goals. In addition, the philosophical and mental components are equally important for successful practice. Do not read too simple literature, even if you are taking your first steps in this art. Pay attention to such authors as Swami Sivananda, Nina Mel, B. K. S. Aigenar, David Swenson.
Step 2
Find a good mentor. Before signing up for lessons, gather as much information as possible about this person. What matters are his achievements, the school behind him, participation in various seminars and, of course, customer feedback. If you are new to yoga, you can start with group classes first. However, for a deeper immersion, you cannot do without individual lessons, during which the mentor will follow your technique, comment and explain the incomprehensible. Keep in mind that a number of major international schools of yoga instructors will not even admit you to their courses unless you have a recommendation from a respected teacher in a narrow circle.
Step 3
Practice yoga regularly on your own, plunging into each asana according to your feelings. It takes several years of practice to become an instructor. Unlike other areas, such as strength fitness, it is almost impossible to achieve quick results from scratch in yoga. And, on the contrary, if you once started out as an inflexible and incompetent person, in 2-3 years you have a chance to make tremendous progress.
Step 4
Find a decent yoga school. If you speak a foreign language, feel free to go abroad: the knowledge gained there will be much more complete. Of course, in large Russian cities you can study and receive a diploma that gives you the right to work. However, it is better to polish your skills in other countries. Traditionally, India is leading in this direction, where absolutely new facets of yoga can open up before you, as well as the United States, where the popularity of this art in recent years, without exaggeration, has gone off scale.
Step 5
Hire to recruit your own apprentices. If there is an opportunity to work or practice in a club, that is also good. But it is still much better for people to walk purposefully towards you. Create a business card website on the Internet, promote your services on social networks, record videos with asanas and ligaments and upload them to popular video channels. Fight for every customer and for good reviews of you.
