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").
