With two million Australian practising this activity and almost 1.2 practising pilates, the number of yoga instructors is constantly rising.
Working out outdoors, practising a mindful, aerobic, holistic physical activity like yoga has become increasingly requested. Choosing to work as a yoga instructor is therefore quite remunerative and trendy (there are over 8.000 professionals in the field all over Australia at the moment!).
Although one can see their foreign qualification recognized, it’s always better to attain one of the two currently available in Australia since it’s quite a competitive field of interest.
Each certification will provide advanced, in-depth training regarding systematic posture analysis, breathing techniques, meditation, and the ethical and philosophical aspects of the profession.

It allows the future teachers to learn how to perform a wide range of yoga practices safely and confidently, recognizing healthy body systems, provide first aid but also how to teach a general class (planning and delivering of group-based learning, working within the school framework and workplace) and establishing long-lasting client relationships.
The classes include anatomy, physiology, sequencing, adjustments, and meditation modules.
DIPLOMA of Yoga Teaching
