Interpersonal and communication skills: You need to have a good rapport with your students, and keep in mind their age as well as health issues before you recommend asanas for them. Also, while performing a particular asana, you need to ask students to exercise caution, or push them to do better, depending on the needs and limitations of each student. Ultimately, yoga gurus lead society towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle that counters the ill-effects of a sedentary and stressful routine.
