Help Students Build Healthy Minds, Strong Bodies, and Lifelong Confidence

 

Do you believe movement can transform lives?

We're looking for a passionate, compassionate, and engaging Yoga & Mindful Movement Instructor to lead after-school enrichment classes that help students develop physical strength, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

 

This is much more than teaching yoga poses. You'll introduce students to movement, mindfulness, breathing techniques, stretching, relaxation, and positive self-expression while helping them build lifelong habits that support their physical, emotional, and social well-being.

 

Every class is an opportunity to help students feel calmer, stronger, more focused, and more confident.

 

Whether you're an experienced yoga instructor, wellness professional, educator, fitness coach, dancer, or simply someone who loves working with children and promoting healthy lifestyles, we'd love to hear from you.

 

We provide curriculum guidance and ongoing support so you can focus on what matters most—creating an engaging, inclusive, and memorable experience for every student.

 

What You'll Do

As our Yoga & Mindful Movement Instructor, you will:

  • Lead engaging, age-appropriate yoga and mindful movement classes for students
  • Teach yoga poses, stretching routines, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices
  • Help students improve flexibility, balance, coordination, strength, posture, and body awareness
  • Create a welcoming classroom where every student feels safe, respected, included, and encouraged to participate
  • Foster confidence, emotional regulation, focus, resilience, and healthy habits through movement and mindfulness
  • Adapt activities to accommodate different abilities, comfort levels, learning styles, and experience levels
  • Encourage teamwork, kindness, self-expression, and positive social interactions
  • Maintain a safe learning environment while ensuring student engagement throughout each class
  • Communicate professionally with school staff and program coordinators
  • Arrive prepared and excited to create a positive, high-energy learning experience

 

Who You Are

You are someone who genuinely enjoys helping children grow and thrive. You understand that wellness goes beyond physical movement and believe every student deserves to feel confident, supported, and successful.

 

You may be a great fit if you have:

  • A passion for yoga, mindfulness, wellness, or youth development
  • Experience teaching yoga, fitness, dance, movement, physical education, or wellness programs
  • Strong communication and classroom management skills
  • A positive, patient, dependable, and encouraging teaching style
  • The ability to motivate and engage students of diverse backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels
  • Confidence leading group activities in an energetic and supportive environment

 

Highly encouraged backgrounds include:

  • Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) or other yoga certification
  • Physical Education
  • Kinesiology
  • Health Sciences
  • Education
  • Dance
  • Recreation
  • Exercise Science
  • Psychology
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Child Development
  • Wellness Coaching

 

Previous experience working with children through schools, camps, recreation programs, community organizations, tutoring, coaching, or after-school programs is highly valued, but not required.

 

Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • Competitive pay: $25–$35 per hour based on experience
  • Flexible part-time schedule that fits around other commitments
  • Make a meaningful impact in students' lives beyond the classroom
  • Inspire confidence, resilience, mindfulness, and healthy lifelong habits
  • Teach in a positive, collaborative, and supportive educational environment
  • Curriculum guidance and instructional resources provided

  • Dance Teachers
  • Physical Education Teachers
  • Personal Trainers
  • Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy students
  • College students studying Kinesiology, Health, Education, Psychology, Exercise Science, or Child Development
  • Camp Counselors
  • Youth Mentors
  • Recreation Leaders
  • Anyone passionate about helping children build confidence through movement and mindfulness

 

Our Commitment to Inclusion

We believe every child deserves a welcoming and supportive learning environment where they feel valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.

 

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, experiences, identities, and abilities. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace and encourage candidates who are passionate about working with diverse communities to apply.

 

Ready to Make a Lasting Difference?

If you're excited to help students build strength, confidence, focus, emotional resilience, and a lifelong appreciation for healthy movement, we'd love to meet you.
