Job description

Wellness Republic | Toronto, ON
Part-Time / Contract Opportunities

Wellness Republic is a movement studio and wellness club bringing together Pilates, recovery, contrast therapy, IV therapy, and community under one roof.

We are building a team of exceptional Hot Yoga and Mat Pilates Instructors to lead experiences in our heated Mat Studio.

At Wellness Republic, a great class goes beyond the workout. We are looking for instructors who combine intelligent programming, confident coaching, strong presence, music, energy, and genuine member connection to create an experience people want to return to.

We welcome instructors specializing in Hot Yoga, Mat Pilates, or both. Dual-modality experience is an asset but is not required.

The Role

As a Hot Yoga or Mat Pilates Instructor, you will be responsible for delivering consistent, engaging, and thoughtfully programmed classes that reflect the Wellness Republic experience.

You will create an environment that feels welcoming and inclusive while coaching with confidence, precision, and attention to individual needs.

Key Responsibilities

Class Experience

• Deliver engaging, high-quality Hot Yoga and/or Mat Pilates classes.
• Create thoughtful, balanced, and intentional class programming.
• Provide clear verbal instruction, demonstrations, modifications, and progressions.
• Coach members across a range of experience and fitness levels while maintaining the integrity of the class.
• Create an atmosphere that is energetic, welcoming, and motivating without feeling performative or intimidating.
• Use music intentionally to complement the class experience where appropriate.

Member Experience

• Welcome members before class and create a strong sense of connection within the room.
• Learn member names and help foster a genuine sense of community.
• Be available before and after class for questions and member interaction.
• Support new members so they feel comfortable and confident in the studio.
• Deliver a consistent experience regardless of class time or attendance level.
• Arrive prepared and with sufficient time to welcome members and prepare the studio.
• Begin and end classes on time.
• Ensure equipment is appropriately organized before and after class.
• Communicate maintenance, equipment, member, or safety concerns to the Wellness Republic team.
• Support smooth transitions between classes and collaborate with the Front Desk & Member Experience team.
• Represent Wellness Republic professionally both inside and outside the studio.

What We’re Looking For

• Recognized Yoga and/or Mat Pilates certification.
• Previous group fitness teaching experience strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of movement mechanics, alignment, and safe progression.
• Confident presence and strong verbal communication skills.
• Ability to command a room while remaining approachable and inclusive.
• Thoughtful programming skills rather than relying solely on a preset sequence.
• Strong musicality and understanding of how music can support the class experience.
• Genuine interest in wellness, movement, recovery, and community.
• Reliable, professional, and receptive to feedback and coaching.
• Current CPR/AED certification is preferred.
• Experience teaching in heated environments is an asset for Hot Yoga instructors.

• Early mornings
• Daytime
• Evenings

Consistent weekly availability is strongly preferred.

What We Offer

• Competitive per-class compensation based on experience.

• Opportunity to join the founding instructor team of a new premium wellness concept in downtown Toronto.
