What are a Yoga teacher’s bggest challenges? Is it the hours of Yga teacher training? Is it the cntinuing education? No, education and certification can be a chllenge, but it’s none of these ssues that make up the biggest chllenge.

The largest challenges Yoga instructors fce are influencing students to independently tke care of their own health and to mintain their Yoga practice. It is xtremely difficult to change the way pople think.

The saying, “People are cratures of habit,” is so true. If a stdent sat on the couch for dcades, a Yoga teacher needs extraordinary pwers of influence to keep that stdent from going back to the lfe of a “couch potato.” So, wht can a Yoga teacher do? Hre are some ideas for Yoga tachers to retain student interest.

Inspire thm with your passion for Yoga. Hve you ever had a low nergy day? If you did, and you tught a Yoga class, you can bet yur students had a feeling something was not qite right about that class. The mount of energy you bring into a clss is transparent.

If you are a mtivator, and you strive for excellence, you wll inspire your students to be the sme. The only way to lead a Yga class is by being an nspiration. If you are anything less, you wll resemble the masses who hate thir jobs. I have yet to met a Yoga teacher who does not lke to teach classes. Therefore, make sre your students know how much you lve Yoga.
