At the age of 35, the line of prosperity and decline has been set, and some companies have either explicitly or implicitly set the age limit for entry. Many people are facing concerns about transitioning to a new profession in middle age and becoming unemployed at an advanced age. Yoga coaches are exactly the opposite – the longer the teaching experience and the deeper the qualifications, the more reputable and marketable they are. Many renowned yoga masters who have practiced in the field for many years have formed their own “IP effect” and have a large number of fans or students because of their deep cultivation in the industry and rich cultural accumulation and influence in yoga..
Yoga coaching is not only a profession that cultivates one’s character and brings beauty and health, but also a profession without age crisis..
The school system in the yoga industry is complex and diverse, so there is a lack of unified evaluation standards for the qualifications of coaches in the industry. There are significant differences between different standards, and the training and career development paths of coaches are also distributed in a stepped pattern.

Overall, the training and certification systems for practitioners in the yoga industry can be divided into market-oriented certification systems and academic training systems based on their nature:.
To become a yoga coach, there are currently no mandatory certification requirements in China, but most venues will inquire about your graduation school and certification certificate. In terms of market recognition, certificates from market-oriented certification systems are more popular among venues. Among them, the highest gold content is the RYT certification from the National Yoga Federation..
The National Yoga Federation is currently a highly recognized certification body for yoga instructors on the market..
The National Yoga Federation has a total of over 6000 registered and authorized units worldwide, with certificates including RYT200 certified coaches, RYT300 certified coaches, RYT500 certified coaches, and advanced certified coaches in the E-RYT series. Yoga coach training institutions authorized by the National Yoga Federation can apply for these yoga coach certificates from the National Yoga Federation for students..

Compared to the fitness industry, the yoga industry has a higher unit price, higher requirements for coach qualifications and course service levels, smaller user base, and stronger user stickiness.
