Reflection:
I personally would not like to become a Yoga Therapist. One of my reasons for that is because if someone were to get hurt while taking my yoga class then I would not not how to handle that. Also I am not very well at planning so I would always rush last minute to complete a workout. On the other hand I definitely would like to take a Yoga class. However becoming a Yoga Therapist is not something I would enjoy very much.
