From the Paper:

"A yoga instructor leads a class of students in the physical activity of yoga, demonstrating and explaining the techniques in an organized fashion towards the overall goal of establishing an integrated fitness routine which improves conditioning and yoga-specific skills. To be a yoga instructor, the base requirement as with the teaching of any subject is a professional knowledge, and the willingness, ability, and zeal to teach it effectively. Given the nature of the physical activity however, certification may not necessarily be necessary, however an ability to demonstrate all techniques perfectly is. Training, education, and certification notwithstanding, individuals who intend to move into personal fitness careers should be outgoing, good motivators, and also sensitive to the needs of others."
