SUMMARY

YogaRoots On Location is seeking yoga instructors with a passion for teaching school-aged youth and young adults.  The position involves working with youth who are currently in the juvenile justice system. Yoga guides have the opportunity to build and foster new relationships with youth and adults who are direct mentors to youth at Shuman Juvenile Detention Center, the Community Intensive Supervision Program (CISP) and young ladies who are currently on probation. As of now, this is a fully virtual position that offers a flexible, part- time schedule. Teachers report directly to the Director of Programming who serves as  the communication liaison between the juvenile justice system and YogaRoots On Location. Yoga teachers will offer yoga classes that reflect YROL juvenile justice curriculum and adapt current lesson plans to reflect their personal teaching styles and the needs of the students in the room.   We believe that autonomy is crucial in teaching youth, being prepared at any moment to change to meet the needs of the students you will be working with. Each one hour session is an opportunity to exchange knowledge with youth and foster positive relationships.
