Remote Live Yoga Instructor- Remote, Contract

Description

About Total Life

Total Life is a telehealth company serving older adults across the United States. We have delivered care to more than 10,000 patients, and our wellness program brings live, daily movement and mindfulness classes to seniors in their own homes through our online member portal.

The Role

We are hiring an experienced yoga instructor to lead live virtual classes for older adults. Classes run daily and are delivered through our member portal, with students joining from home on a laptop, tablet, or phone.

This is not a studio class adapted for seniors. It is purpose built for them: gentle, accessible, chair based and standing modifications throughout, and paced so that a student in their seventies or eighties feels confident, safe, and welcome from the first minute.

What You Will Do

  • Lead live virtual yoga classes for older adults on a recurring weekly schedule
  • Teach gentle, chair, and modified standing practices with clear verbal cueing
  • Offer accessible variations in real time for a range of mobility levels
  • Create a warm, encouraging class environment that keeps members coming back
  • Open the virtual classroom on time and greet students as they arrive
  • Work with our wellness team on class themes and the monthly schedule

What We Are Looking For

Required

  • 200 hour yoga teacher certification (RYT-200 or equivalent)
  • Two or more years teaching experience, including work with older adults
  • Demonstrated experience with chair yoga, gentle yoga, or adaptive practice
  • Comfort teaching to camera with strong verbal cueing, since you will not always be able to see or correct every student
  • Reliable high speed internet, a quiet well lit teaching space, and comfort with Zoom
  • Professional liability insurance, or willingness to obtain it

Preferred

  • Senior specific or chair yoga certification
  • Experience teaching virtual or hybrid classes
  • Background in accessible movement, adaptive fitness, or restorative practice

Who does well here

Our members are older adults, many of whom are new to yoga and new to joining a class online. The instructors who thrive with us are patient, warm, and unhurried. They explain rather than assume, they normalize modifications instead of treating them as a lesser option, and they make people feel capable.

Details

  • Contract position (1099), remote
  • Live classes on a set weekly schedule
  • Paid per class
  • You provide your own space, mat, and equipment
  • We handle scheduling, member registration, the platform, and technical support
