Namaskar Ali,

When you say "audition" this sounds like a health club job. Are you getting paid for this demo? Fitness centers usually don't pay for yoga teacher auditions, but this will help me give you more information. Most yoga centers have new teachers do a "demo" class and you usually get paid for it.

Here are some tips:

Arrive early to your yoga teaching audition. Give yourself time to drink some water, go to the bathroom and walk around the club to calm yourself. Create a short yoga class lesson plan that brings out your best teaching skills. If you plan to use music, practice cuing with music in the background. If possible, shoot a video of you practicing your yoga teaching abilities and critique it to find out what needs work. Create modifications that might be needed by students who are less flexible or who need extra help.

OM Shanti,
Priyah
