We’re looking for a Volunteer Yoga Instructor!
The Space is looking for a newly certified 200-hour yoga teacher who is excited to step into the teaching space, gain experience, and give back to our community.
We are looking for a volunteer instructor to lead a weekly Hot Hatha class raising funds for the Lindsay Walker Quality of Life Fund through the Edmonton Community Foundation. This is an opportunity for a new teacher to gain valuable hands-on experience while supporting a cause that is deeply meaningful.
About the Fund
The Lindsay Walker Quality of Life Fund was established in memory of Lindsay Walker, sister of the owners, a proud Indigenous woman, physiotherapist, daughter and aunt. The fund supports the Lindsay Walker Graduate Bursary in Rehabilitation Medicine, helping ease financial barriers for First Nation, Inuit and Métis students pursuing graduate studies in the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. Lindsay was deeply committed to learning, caring for others and helping people live with greater strength, dignity and hope. This class is one small way we can continue that spirit of giving back.
About the Opportunity
This is a great fit for a teacher who has recently completed their 200-hour training and is ready to take their first steps into teaching.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Teach one consistent weekly Hot Hatha class (Mondays from 6:15-7:15pm)
- Build confidence teaching in a real studio environment
- Develop your teaching voice and class sequencing
- Gain experience working with a variety of students
- Receive support and feedback from The Space team
- Contribute to a fundraiser supporting Lindsay’s legacy
You don’t need years of teaching experience. We’re specifically interested in supporting emerging teachers who are ready to learn, grow and step into the room.
What You’ll Do
- Lead a safe, welcoming and accessible Hot Hatha class each week
- Provide clear instruction, alignment cues and modifications
- Create options for students with different experience levels
- Arrive prepared and on time
- Maintain a professional and welcoming presence
- Commit to the weekly class and communicate reliably with the studio team
- Help create an environment that reflects the values of The Space
What We’re Looking For
- A recently certified 200-hour yoga teacher
- Passionate about yoga and excited to begin teaching
- Comfortable teaching in a heated environment
- Reliable and committed to a regular weekly schedule
- Open to feedback, mentorship and continued learning
- Community-minded and compassionate
- Interested in making yoga welcoming and accessible to people at all levels
What You’ll Receive
- Complimentary yoga at The Space
- Support and mentorship from our teaching team
- Hands-on experience teaching a regular weekly studio class
- The opportunity to develop your confidence, sequencing and teaching skills
- Connection with The Space’s teaching and wellness community
- Consideration for our substitute teacher list as your teaching experience develops
Placement on our substitute list is based on teaching experience, demonstrated ability, reliability and overall fit with The Space. This means volunteering in this role can be a great first step toward future teaching opportunities, but placement on the sub list is not automatic.
To Apply
Send a short introduction to info@thespaceyoga.ca telling us a little about yourself, your yoga teacher training, and why you’d like to be part of this opportunity.
No lengthy application required. We’d love to get to know you.
