About Bouldering Project
Bouldering Project is more than a climbing gym—we're a community. We're driven by a shared belief: that climbing, movement, and connection should be accessible to everyone. From first-timers to seasoned climbers, families to fitness enthusiasts, and our own teammates—we create inclusive, inspiring spaces where people move, grow, and belong. With world-class climbing, yoga and fitness offerings, and welcoming community spaces, we're proud to serve nine markets across the U.S.—and we're just getting started.
About the Role

- Design and teach creative, well-sequenced classes that align with BP's offerings (e.g., Power Flow, Slow Flow, Restore, Sculpt, Vinyasa)
- Clearly cue safe and dynamic asana postures, breathwork, and transitions, offering modifications for a variety of levels
- Welcome all participants, including new students, and foster a community-centered class environment
- Offer hands-on assists when appropriate and only with consent
- Maintain professionalism by arriving early, starting and ending class on time, and upholding studio standards
- Maintain studio cleanliness and proper care of yoga props and equipment
- Coordinate sub coverage when unable to teach and support fellow instructors by subbing as needed
- Respond to emergencies according to safety protocols and report incidents appropriately
- Participate in staff meetings and continuing education sessions
- Accurately check students into class and maintain class headcounts
- Other duties as assigned
**All qualified applicants will be contacted after 8/1, but we are looking to hire soon**
