Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Instructor

About Yatha Yoga

Yatha Yoga is a boutique yoga shala (school/home of yoga) located in historic Old Town Ellicott City. Our mission is simple: "The Path, As Is." We offer Classical & Modern Hatha Raja Vinyasa practices for creators, sustainers, transformers, and peace-makers.

We are distinct from the commercial fitness industry. We are a community dedicated to embodied learning, self-inquiry, and the honest study of yoga as a complete system—honoring its roots while making it accessible to modern life.

The Role

We are looking for instructors who are ready to move beyond "leading a workout" and instead hold space for discipline, devotion, and growth. You will be joining a team that values lineage, utilizing the wisdom of the past to support students in the present.

We are specifically looking for teachers proficient in:

• Vinyasa / Hatha Raja: Dynamic, breath-led practices rooted in tradition.
• Dharma Yoga: Devotional, heart-opening practice.
• Rocket / Ashtanga: Energetic, structural, and discipline-focused.
• Restorative / Yin / Yoga Nidra: Practices for deep listening and nervous system regulation.

What We Value in a Teacher

• Authenticity: You teach from your own sadhana (personal practice).
• Honor the Lineage: You understand the history and philosophy behind the shapes (Asana) and breath (Pranayama).
• Community Minded: You are eager to connect with students off the mat, helping to build a supportive "Sangha" (community) in our intimate space.

Requirements

• Certification: 200-Hour YTT minimum (Training in a specific lineage is a plus).
• Experience: Ability to sequence intelligently and offer safe adjustments/assists.
• Insurance: Must hold current professional liability insurance.
• Availability: Weekday evenings and/or weekends.

Why Join Us?

• Boutique Yoga Shala: Our space is designed for focus and peace, away from the noise of big-box gyms.
• Deepen Your Craft: Work alongside other dedicated practitioners and mentors.
• Membership Perks: Unlimited access to classes to support your own practice ("The Path, As Is").
