Resort Yoga vs Studio Teaching
Teaching yoga in a studio and teaching yoga at a resort or spa are completely different experiences. Resort yoga instructors work with guests who may be complete beginners, often in stunning outdoor settings, with accommodation and meals included.

- Good English or regional language skills for guest communication
- Knowledge of pranayama, meditation and Ayurvedic principles
