The roles and responsibilities of being a competent, and effective, yoga instructor are up to the individual. There are many styles of yoga, but teachers should be familiar with the nine main forms of yoga, from India, and their relationships to contemporary styles.
Perhaps its most important benefit is it's ability to reduce tension and stress. The extreme nature of many positions, and stretches, could cause serious injury in the hands of a lesser teacher. Studies have shown that people who practice yoga share a better optimism, better awareness and alertness and even appreciation for one s surroundings.
Additionally, by going through the poses quickly without stopping in between, you will keep up the work and thus build your endurance. Instructors must be able to accurately verbalize a pose to students in a way that they can understand. Its aim is to unite the mind, body and spirit and if it is given the right tools and right environment, the body can find harmony and heal itself.
Whatever you do, good luck and have fun! So get out there and help yourself and other's improve their overall fitness, strength, and flexibility.
