What employers look forFrom the Yoga Instructor guide

Captains and chief stews want an experienced teacher who can share a crew cabin and keep guests' business to themselves. A 200-hour Yoga Alliance certificate is the minimum. A 500-hour certificate plus a second skill such as Pilates mat, massage or breathwork makes you much easier to place. Experience ashore counts. A few years teaching in a studio, retreat or five-star resort shows you can read a room. Every yacht will ask for STCW Basic Safety and an ENG1 medical. Interior experience or a PDSD helps on any yacht where you will also be stewarding.

QuestionsSee what a Yoga Instructor earns

What tickets should a Yoga Instructor CV list?

List STCW Basic Safety Training, ENG1 seafarer medical and 200-hour Yoga Alliance RYT first, each with the date it was issued. Then add 500-hour yoga teacher training and Pilates mat certification if you hold them.

How long should a Yoga Instructor CV be?

Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.

Can I copy this example CV?

Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
