Yoga Hike Instructors
[Fully staffed at this time!] Yoga Hikes seeks instructors to both join the sub list and pick up weekday and weekend Yoga Hikes. Candidates must be RYT 200 certified, registered with Yoga Alliance, and insured. Highly desirable candidates will have experience teaching yoga (various forms are welcome), a love of the outdoors, highly positive energy, the ability to project their voice outdoors, and hiking experience.
