Reflection:
I would like to become a yoga therapist it is really easy and you don’t need
education requirements. It is a good job that helps other and can be a form of relaxing.
It pays well and it looks like a good job, although it may be hard to become
one especially if you aren’t flexible because you have to do a lot of flexible
poses.
