Question:
I have been teaching yoga since 1993 at the intitute where I was trained and
also privately. I would like to try teaching at a health club or fitness
center. Since I have only been a subtitute teacher in those places I'm not
quite sure how to write a resume that looks like I have any experience.
If anyone has a suggestion on writing a resume in this situation I would
preciate your help.
Answer:
In Germany you need something like a diplome, teacher-training
certification.
And they need to like you - your energy must fit into the health-club
and / or fitness center team.
It's good to describe what does your Yoga includes and maybe something
about the exploding market on the Yoga and relaxation cours market
....
A brief and understandable description - no Yoga terms like Asanas,
pranayama, etc... instead write physical exercises, breathing
techniques, different relexation techniques, concentration techniques
(meditation - ok, i know, that's not correct - but they can imagine
something ...) - as if you would describe your Yoga to a beginner that
knows nothing, and has no time to find out more, about it ...
And when you have a meeting with them don't say too much - let them ask
you questions and ask them about their center, be interested in their
work, philosophy, etc....
