- Work with our wellness team on class themes and the monthly schedule
What We Are Looking For
Required
- 200 hour yoga teacher certification (RYT-200 or equivalent)
- Two or more years teaching experience, including work with older adults
- Demonstrated experience with chair yoga, gentle yoga, or adaptive practice
- Comfort teaching to camera with strong verbal cueing, since you will not always be able to see or correct every student
- Reliable high speed internet, a quiet well lit teaching space, and comfort with Zoom
- Professional liability insurance, or willingness to obtain it
Preferred
- Senior specific or chair yoga certification
- Experience teaching virtual or hybrid classes
- Background in accessible movement, adaptive fitness, or restorative practice
