Yoga was a door to experiencing my body in ways I had only vaguely sensed before, both kinesthetically and intuitively. I come from a family that values intellect, a child of Japanese immigrants who use the body to cart the brain from place to place. Like most people, I did not start practicing yoga with the idea that I would teach. Teaching yoga is the best job I have ever had, but it has required good contacts, luck, tenacity, and determination. I teach eight classes per week in yoga studios, one at a health club, another at an office, and I volunteer-teach every other week at a federal women’s prison. I graduated in 1996 from three years in a teacher-training program, and became a full-time yoga teacher in 1999. See also Should You Take a Teacher Training To Deepen Your Practice? Do You Have the Right Stuff to Teach? Like any other profession, teaching yoga calls for a particular set of skills, talent, and drive. It ain’t easy but as we all know nothing is easy. In January, classes are crammed with first-timers, fresh with New Year’s resolve by July, the same classes are empty, and you are wincing because you can’t cover the rent. You do your own bookkeeping, line up and pay substitute teachers every time you leave town, and you’re out of luck if you rip up your knee and are out six weeks with a cast entombing your left leg.

Because I can tell you, having done 9 to 5-high heels, commuter-jammed subway, two elevators up to the 96th floor of the World Trade Center-it’s not worth doing something that you do not love.īut are you prepared for the trials of teaching yoga? You teach early weekend mornings and late weekday evenings, in gyms for as little as $35 per class, in hospital basements and office spaces where you have to first move boxes stuffed with annual reports against the wall to clear the floor. Something that fires you up in the morning and gets you up out of bed and doesn’t deaden your spirit. Why not teach? Since you must make a living-pay the rent and feed the cat and maybe even support a family-you want to do something that you love. It’s your reigning passion and metaphor you prescribe it for every human ill. Your yoga confederates are your best friends. You think, breathe, and dream about yoga. So you think you want to be a yoga teacher? Read on to see if teaching yoga is right for you.
