Role summary

Total Life, a telehealth company serving older adults, seeks a remote, contract Live Yoga Instructor to lead daily virtual classes. The role involves teaching gentle, chair-based, and modified standing yoga practices with clear verbal cueing, catering specifically to seniors. The ideal candidate will have a 200-hour yoga teacher certification, at least two years of teaching experience with older adults, and experience with adaptive yoga practices. Comfort with virtual teaching platforms like Zoom and strong verbal communication skills are essential. This position offers a recurring weekly schedule with pay per class.

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.
