What qualifications do you need?
It depends. In my case, I was certified by someone who is recognised by the renowned institute Yoga World. I needed to learn anatomy, yoga therapy, alignment and all the postures. The course was a couple of months long for 15 hours a day at yoga school.
What sort of person does the job suit?
People who love yoga and like to share what they love with other people. And most importantly, have no problem speaking in public to guide students through the class.
