be accessible
we value teachers who are confident, experienced, well-educated, and accessible. accessibility at &asanas means that you are able to teach yogis of all skills levels with clear & concise cuing as well as guide students effectively through transitions that are safe but fun. our instructors know what postures are accessible & available to most bodies and how to modify in order to let everyone participate in every posture they choose to.
be respectful
It all begins with an idea.
our instructors are respectful of all the different kinds of people who we welcome into our community. a respectful instructor at &asanas is: well-prepared to give hands-on adjustments with proper consent, understanding of different bodies and needs, mindful of potentially triggering postures & language, and conscious of the roots of yoga. we value respect, consent, & understanding in our instructors.
be passionate
It all begins with an idea.
we aim to have instructors who are an active part of our community. one of our main tenants is that we are not just an in-and-out yoga studio. we work hard to build a community atmosphere and to let our clients know that they are always welcome here and hope that our instructors are dedicated to what we are building. we value instructors that are passionate about being involved in our community by showing up on their mats for their own practice, being here before & after their classes to welcome & connect with students, and to develop a sense of belonging within our team.
be curious
It all begins with an idea.
we value instructors that pursue continuing education & are curious about wellness beyond the asanas. keeping our clients safe is of the utmost importance and in order to do that instructors should be aware of the functional anatomy behind yoga. cues, transitions, & safe engagement standards are ever changing in the yoga community and we hope our instructors are willing to continuously learn how best to keep our community safe. we also encourage our instructors to look beyond the asanas to pursue learning and trainings that will enrich their teaching of all 8 limbs of yoga.
be well-rounded
It all begins with an idea.
&asanas was founded on the intention of bringing all 8 limbs of yoga to our community, not just the asana practice. we value instructors who are passionate about the many limbs of yoga and are interested in offering opportunities for our community to engage with the other seven limbs. through breathwork, meditation, sound baths, healing ceremonies, donation-based classes, & many other offerings, our studio encompasses all 8 limbs of yoga. we hope that our instructors participate in or offer wellness beyond the postures as much as they are capable.
be considerate
It all begins with an idea.
&asanas is considerate of the community as a whole and as such offers accessibility of pricing, accessibility of practice, and accessibility through a diverse instructor roster. we strive to offer a balance of routine & comfort, having instructors teach regularly, with diversity & choice, allowing for all of our instructors to teach a variety of classes. we have an ever-shifting team of instructors who cover for each other, build each other up & consider the needs of the studio as a whole.
