ABOUT THE JOB
Yoga Instructors are dynamic, interesting and responsible, and are thrilled to take advantage of all the amenities that the gym has to offer. They are active participants in the community as a whole, and knowledgeable of VITAL’s programs outside of yoga. They arrive early to class to connect with students and stay late to hear feedback and care for the studio space.
VITAL instructors teach a creative, alignment-based, athletic yoga sequencing model. The model focuses on building strength, endurance and flexibility, while leaving space for freedom of expression and adapting to the students in the room. Teachers confidently instruct students on the correct use of props whenever necessary. Teachers use playlists with songs that do not distract from the practice, but rather energize the students and encourage moving meditation.
VITAL offers a variety of yoga classes that encourage the discipline of a strong physical practice and rehabilitation for athletes. While instructors may be inspired by esoteric yogic wisdom, VITAL teachers deliver their classes in terms that are scientifically viable, and understandable to the public.
