Job Description

About the role

We are looking for yoga teachers to join our queer yoga community. You can read more about us at: www.queeryogaedinburgh.co.uk

Our classes follow a gentle and more accessible style of yoga and are designed to be suitable for varying mobilities, bodies, and experience levels. We are run by and for queer folks, so we centre the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community and aim to create a welcoming, inclusive space for those who may not feel at home in traditional yoga studio settings. We welcome teachers of any style - vinyasa, yin, hatha, chair yoga etc.

We are especially keen to work with teachers from marginalised backgrounds -- including (but not limited to) people who are disabled, neurodivergent, trans+, queer, Black or a person of colour, older, or in larger bodies. If you've ever felt like mainstream yoga spaces weren't made with you in mind, we would love to hear from you.

We're committed to making this role as accessible and supportive as possible. If there are any adjustments or support you'd like, just let us know. Please feel free to get in touch by email, text, or phone if you'd like to chat more about how the role could work for you.

Class structure and expectations

Our regular classes are 60 minutes long, with an additional 30-45 minutes afterwards for tea and a chat in the studio or garden. We occasionally hold retreat days and events, and run corporate classes so if you're interested in supporting those, we'd love that too.

We are also looking for folks to occasionally support classes by helping to set up, welcoming people in, and joining the practice. This support role is voluntary, but supported volunteers can attend the class for free. There is no requirement to take on a support role.
