Yoga Therapist
Duties and Responsibilities:The number one job of a yoga
therapist is to keep their clients healthy, flexible and safe. They must ensure
that all the poses are executed correctly and without injury, which requires
close attention to the abilities of their clients and concise instruction.
Every student needs a yoga mat, and sometimes the instructor many need to
provide mats that have been sanitized for their clients' use. Integrative yoga
stresses a personalized practice tailored to the individual's needs, so
therapists must recognize the abilities of clients.
Salary: Integrative yoga instructors fall into the category
of fitness trainers and aerobics instructors. According to the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) in 2013, the average annual salary for workers in this
category was $39,410. The BLS also projected that fitness trainers and aerobics
instructors would see a 13% increase in job growth from 2012 to 2022, which is
an average pace.
Education:Thousands of schools offer yoga therapist training
programs, but specific integrative yoga therapist training has only a few
options around the country. A 200-hour basic certification program allows a
graduate to teach yoga in many group settings as a therapist. A professional
certification takes 500 hours, but this allows therapists to open a private
practice.
During these hours of classes a trainee will learn about
individualized teaching, experiential approaches to education, taking yoga
outside the classrooms, and health and wellness, the psychology and philosophy
of yoga and workouts that revolve around students. Some yoga instructors choose
to focus on one specific goal of a yoga class such as yoga for back pain,
depression, or seniors. Many schools offer programs that are tailored to
certain needs and give the graduate a certification with a focus. With a
specified certification, an instructor has the ability to serve an exclusive
clientele with a very clear goal in mind.
