- Afternoon Availability: Most classes will run in afterschool time slots between 2:30–6:00pm; occasional weekend or evening events possible
- Creativity & Playfulness: Ability to make each session fun, captivating, and memorable using stories, games, and music to engage young minds (no “one-size-fits-all” routines)

- Reliable transportation to afterschool program locations
- Willingness to obtain CPR/First Aid certification and complete background checks/fingerprinting as required by schools
- Previous yoga teaching experience (RYT 200 preferred, but we are open to strong candidates with relevant background and a commitment to ongoing training)
Our Mission
We believe that yoga and mindfulness are for everyone! Our mission is to help children become stronger inside and out by building emotional resilience, confidence, and healthy movement habits through joyful, inclusive classes.
Opportunities for Growth
We support our instructors’ continued growth! Potential for advancement and expanded roles (such as weekend events, summer camps, specialty workshops, and more).
