The Role: Yoga Instructor

1. Lead Inspiring, High-Quality Yoga Classes

As a Yoga Instructor at Virgin Active, you will create and guide transformative yoga experiences that nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Your sessions should be inclusive, engaging, and rooted in mindfulness—helping members find strength, balance, and inner calm. You'll align your teaching with Virgin Active’s holistic wellness philosophy, creating space for personal growth and connection.

2. Cultivate Community and Belonging

Your role goes beyond teaching poses. You’ll foster a warm, welcoming environment where members feel safe, supported, and part of a vibrant community. Through presence and genuine connection, you’ll inspire loyalty and encourage members to return not just for the practice, but for the energy and community your classes create.

3. Support Holistic Wellness Journeys

In addition to yoga, you’ll help members explore the full scope of wellness at Virgin Active—introducing them to offerings like personal training, wellness spa services, recovery tools, and nutrition support. Your guidance will help members deepen their commitment to their overall well-being and make yoga part of a balanced, integrated lifestyle.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design and Deliver Authentic, Accessible Yoga Classes

Plan and lead classes that reflect your expertise, offering modifications and progressions to suit all levels and bodies. Whether you're teaching Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, or a fusion style, your sessions should be rooted in intention and designed to guide members toward greater awareness, strength, and calm.

2. Build Strong Member Relationships

Create a space where people feel seen and valued. Learn members' names, understand their goals, and celebrate their progress. Your connection with participants plays a vital role in helping them develop a long-term commitment to their yoga practice and the broader Virgin Active community.

3. Prioritize Safety, Alignment, and Mindfulness

Maintain a high standard of instruction, with a strong emphasis on breath, alignment, and injury prevention. Offer variations and hands-on or verbal adjustments where appropriate, always ensuring each member feels empowered and safe in their practice.

Inspire members to explore other wellness avenues offered by Virgin Active, such as massage, meditation, recovery rooms, and complementary fitness classes. Position yoga as a foundational element of a balanced lifestyle that nurtures both body and mind.

5. Maintain a Clean, Calm Studio Environment

Support a serene and inviting studio atmosphere by ensuring props, mats, and equipment are clean and well-maintained. Set up and pack down thoughtfully, and work with the operations team to keep the space harmonious and welcoming.

6. Commit to Growth and Development

Continue your own journey as a teacher by staying current with yoga trends, philosophies, and techniques. Attend trainings, seek feedback, and reflect on your teaching to ensure you’re continually evolving and delivering the best possible experience for your students.
