Qualities that Make You a Good Yoga Instructor

There are lot more things which make a man in to an instructor, that too for tough courses like yoga. It needs a lot of dedication and more particularly passion towards the profession. This can be seen in very few people and only those people will succeed who will do it for their self satisfaction, considering earning money as their second criteria for teaching yoga. Following are few things which can be considered as the key factors or qualities that make a good instructor.
  • The in depth knowledge about yoga and its applications is an important factor to consider in order to become a good instructor. Certifications are no way equal to the amount of knowledge you gain if one has that much grip on the respective topic.
  • The skill of communicating in a proper way which can be understood by anyone can be considered as a god gift and can be found in only few people. A good trainer should have this quality and also should have the skill of demonstrating the techniques and postures in a proper way.
  • Motivation is another thing which all the yoga trainers should definitely posses. They not only have to train the people who came to learn the course, but also are required to motivate other people by educating them and making them aware about the benefits of practicing yoga, then only he/she can excel in their field of teaching yoga.
  • They should have the concern towards the problems of the public and they are supposed to show empathy on them and need to provide useful suggestions and tips according to their disorder. He/she has to feel like as if the problem happened to them personally and need to take care about his trainees and the fellow members.
  • A good trainer never hesitates to do corrections then and there as they occur. It is the correct time to guide a practitioner the moment he /she does the mistake. So that they will never try to repeat it again.
These are few things which are helpful to become a good yoga instructor.
