If you’re doing yoga now and can’t seem to get enough of it–you find yourself telling complete strangers about how yoga has changed your life, for example–maybe it’s time for you to level up. True, yoga has many benefits, but at some point, you may want to take that next step.
Teaching yoga is a life-changing decision. You can make a living from teaching yoga, but the best benefit of all is that by teaching yoga to other people, you will learn more about yourself, too, about what you can do and what you can achieve.

Lots of office workers complain about not having enough time for physical activity. Their endless hours spent in the office definitely make them unfit. For example low back pain is very common among office workers.

2. You will enjoy mental fitness as well.
