ĀVĀ Movement | St John’s Wood, London
Job description
ĀVĀ Movement is a new boutique Reformer Pilates studio opening in St John’s Wood, London, and we are looking for talented Reformer Pilates instructors to join our founding team.
We are particularly keen to hear from newly qualified instructors as well as experienced instructors who have strong technical knowledge, a warm and engaging teaching style and the confidence to develop through regular teaching opportunities.
Previous boutique studio experience is welcomed but is not essential. We care just as much about your professionalism, personality, reliability and potential as we do about the number of classes you have previously taught.
Our studio will offer contemporary Reformer Pilates through small-group classes of up to 10 clients and private sessions. We are building a welcoming, elevated and client-focused environment centred around exceptional teaching, thoughtful movement and helping every client progress safely and confidently.
