Your mission as a Yoga Instructor is to deliver engaging and effective Slow Flow and Power Flow yoga classes across two premier corporate wellness locations in the Boston area. You will create a welcoming, inclusive environment where participants of all experience levels feel supported, challenged, and inspired.

What You’re Responsible For

• Group Programming: Lead engaging, high-quality yoga classes ranging from slow flow to power flow for a diverse corporate membership population. Deliver safe, well-structured classes that accommodate varying fitness levels, abilities, and yoga experience while fostering participation, wellness, and community.
• Five-Star Hospitality Service: Create an exceptional participant experience by preparing the class space in advance, ensuring equipment is set up, and maintaining a welcoming, professional environment before, during, and after each class. Anticipate participant needs and focus on the details that elevate the overall experience.
• Tenant Satisfaction & Engagement: Build positive relationships with participants and actively engage with members to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Help drive class attendance, satisfaction, and ongoing participation through approachable instruction and community‑building.
• Independent Instruction: Comfortably teach in a corporate setting with varying spaces, equipment, and class setups. Work independently with limited on‑site supervision while maintaining a high standard of instruction, professionalism, and reliability.

Baseline Requirements

• You have 1+ years of experience in a fitness center environment teaching group Yoga classes.
• Even better if your experience has touched the corporate fitness or wellness sector and/or has additional group fitness experience (e.g., strength, HIIT, pilates, Barre, sculpt, etc).
• You must have a valid 200-hour RYT Yoga certification from a nationally recognized organization.
• You have an up-to-date CPR and AED certification.
• You maintain active personal liability insurance or are willing to obtain coverage prior to providing services.
• You are technologically savvy and can assist members with class sign‑ups through our native technology.

Key Competencies

• Customer-Centric: In previous roles, you have exceeded what customers expected of you, you have an innate hospitality mindset and are happiest when you are serving others.
• Hyper-organized ball juggler: You stay extremely organized and are constantly reprioritizing your own work because it’s what makes you most effective. Everyone refers to you as a stellar multi-tasker.
• Stellar Communication: You are known for clearly communicating your points - whether in email or verbally. In this role you’ll be communicating a lot about bookings (both coordinating them and confirming), sending vendor communications, and engaging with different levels of tenants (office managers to C‑Suite).
