Canggu, Bali--(Newsfile Corp. - August 30, 2024) - In a significant development for the yoga industry, Australia has included yoga instructors on the Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) draft priority skills list, creating new opportunities for skilled migrants. This reflects the growing global demand for wellness professionals in a world that increasingly recognizes the importance of physical and mental well-being. Loka Yoga School has announced that they will be meeting this increased demand by offering expanded yoga teacher training programs via their headquarters in Canggu, Bali.
Taryn Weggelaar - "To do what you love, and feel that it matters, how can anything be more fun?"
Taryn Weggelaar, Founder of Loka Yoga School, comments, "Including yoga instructors on Australia's priority skills list is a major milestone for the wellness industry. It's a clear recognition of the important role yoga plays in health and wellbeing, and we're proud to be training the next generation of instructors."
The announcement has sparked increased interest in yoga teaching as a career. Google Trends confirms this growing interest, with search terms like 'yoga teacher' and 'yoga teacher training' significantly increasing over the past year. Since the draft list announcement in June, data shows that the term 'yoga teacher' peaked mid-month, indicating a trend towards not only practising yoga but also pursuing it as a career.
While Australia's move highlights the demand for yoga professionals, other countries are also experiencing growth in this sector. Loka Yoga School has identified the top destinations where yoga instructors are in high demand and can build rewarding careers:
