Hi,

I am currently on H-4 visa. I have a masters degree in computers field from India (MCA). However I plan to do a certificate course in Yoga (about 1 to 1.5 yrs duration) here in USA. The course is usually offered by a private institute not affiliated to a university. I would like to practice it commercially afterwards either by taking classes in some gym etc. or setup my own yoga class.
My question is -
1) Is it possible to this on H4 visa ?
2) If not what type of visa I will have to convert to if at all there are options ?
 
You can take the class on H4 but must have a proper work or investment visa to teach or open a studio.

I doubt yoga would be considered a skill qualifying for H1B.
 
Thanks. So in order to practice it commercially, would I need to convert to E visa ? If I want to teach (on a paid basis) in classes in some gym, which visa would I need to convert to ?
