About

Yoga instructors are fitness professionals who teach yoga, the low-impact exercise that uses controlled postures and breathing techniques to improve flexibility and strength. To become a yoga instructor, in any style, comprehensive and specialized training is required. 

Teaching yoga goes far beyond creating sequences and instructing postures. The yoga instructor’s role is to create a safe and nurturing environment and guide students through mindful practices to quiet the mind and connect to ourselves.  All yoga instructors must complete a training program in yoga and, within the field, have the option of specializing in a particular discipline.
