• Demonstrating Poses: Instructors must demonstrate proper alignment and technique for each pose to help students understand and execute them correctly.
• Providing Modifications: A crucial aspect of a yoga instructor's job is to offer modifications or alternatives for poses to accommodate students of diverse ages with different skill levels or physical conditions.
• Assisting and Correcting: During class, instructors should circulate among students to provide verbal or, with permission from the member, hands‑on adjustments, alignment corrections, and encouragement to help students improve their practice and prevent injuries.
• Safety and Injury Prevention: Ensuring the safety of students is paramount. Instructors should be knowledgeable about common injuries and how to prevent them during yoga practice.
• Maintaining a Clean and Safe Environment: Instructors are responsible for maintaining a clean and safe practice space. Returning yoga accessories neatly to their proper storage units.

WHO YOU ARE:

• Minimum 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training (RYT)
