Wellness Republic is a movement studio and wellness club bringing together Pilates, recovery, contrast therapy, IV therapy, and community under one roof.
We are building a team of exceptional Hot Yoga and Mat Pilates Instructors to lead experiences in our heated Mat Studio.
At Wellness Republic, a great class goes beyond the workout. We are looking for instructors who combine intelligent programming, confident coaching, strong presence, music, energy, and genuine member connection to create an experience people want to return to.
We welcome instructors specializing in Hot Yoga, Mat Pilates, or both. Dual-modality experience is an asset but is not required.
The Role
As a Hot Yoga or Mat Pilates Instructor, you will be responsible for delivering consistent, engaging, and thoughtfully programmed classes that reflect the Wellness Republic experience.
You will create an environment that feels welcoming and inclusive while coaching with confidence, precision, and attention to individual needs.

- Create thoughtful, balanced, and intentional class programming.
- Provide clear verbal instruction, demonstrations, modifications, and progressions.
- Coach members across a range of experience and fitness levels while maintaining the integrity of the class.
- Create an atmosphere that is energetic, welcoming, and motivating without feeling performative or intimidating.

- Previous group fitness teaching experience strongly preferred.
- Strong understanding of movement mechanics, alignment, and safe progression.
- Confident presence and strong verbal communication skills.
- Ability to command a room while remaining approachable and inclusive.
- Thoughtful programming skills rather than relying solely on a preset sequence.
- Strong musicality and understanding of how music can support the class experience.
- Genuine interest in wellness, movement, recovery, and community.
- Reliable, professional, and receptive to feedback and coaching.
- Current CPR/AED certification is preferred.
