Yoga and/or Pilates Instructor

Part-Time | Hamilton / Stoney Creek

North Star Robust is seeking an experienced Yoga and/or Pilates Instructor to join our team.

North Star Strong is a coaching-focused fitness studio in Stoney Creek dedicated to helping people build strength, improve movement and feel more capable in their bodies.

The successful candidate will share this philosophy and bring a teaching style that complements the North Star Strong environment: movement-focused, engaging, accessible and energetic, with a strong emphasis on quality instruction and member experience.

This is a part-time position with the opportunity to expand in hours and responsibilities as our class offerings grow.

Teaching Approach

For Pilates, we are seeking movement-focused instruction that develops strength, control, mobility and body awareness while remaining accessible to a range of abilities.

For Yoga, we are seeking an active, movement-forward approach centered on poses, transitions, mobility, flexibility and physical progression. Breathwork and mindfulness may complement the practice; however, extended meditation, spirituality and prolonged breathwork or stillness will not be a primary focus of the program.

Across either discipline, instructors should demonstrate strong coaching presence, clear communication, adaptability and the ability to create an engaging and welcoming class environment.

Role & Responsibilities

The Instructor will be responsible for:

- Planning, programming and delivering high-quality Yoga and/or Pilates classes.
- Adapting and modifying movements to accommodate varying abilities,



injuries and physical restrictions.
- Creating a welcoming, engaging and professional class experience.
- Building relationships with participants and supporting strong member engagement and retention.
- Responding to member and prospective-member questions related to their classes and programming.
- Supporting prospective participants through the enrolment process and contributing to class growth.
- Participating in social media content and other promotional initiatives as required.
- Participating in occasional workshops, events and community-building activities.
- Contributing ideas and feedback to support the ongoing development of the class offering.

North Star Strong will provide the administrative, operational and marketing infrastructure supporting the role.

Qualifications & Experience

Candidates should have:

- Approximately 2+ years of group teaching experience in Yoga and/or Pilates.
- A recognized Yoga and/or Pilates teaching certification appropriate to the discipline being taught.
- Demonstrated experience independently programming and delivering group classes.
- Strong knowledge of movement modifications and the ability to coach participants with varying abilities and experience levels.
- Current CPR/AED certification.




- Appropriate professional liability insurance.
- Strong sales, communication and interpersonal skills.
- A confident and engaging coaching presence.
- An interest in contributing to class growth and developing long-term relationships with members.
- Comfort participating in social media content, workshops and community events.

Candidates based in Hamilton, Stoney Creek or the immediate surrounding area are strongly preferred.

Growth Opportunity

This position will begin on a part time basis.

As class participation and programming expand, there is opportunity to increase teaching hours and gradually assume additional responsibilities related to member engagement, program development, sales and administration.

The position is therefore best suited to an instructor interested in establishing a longer-term role with North Star Strong and growing their involvement over time.

Compensation

North Star Strong uses a structured compensation model that includes teaching compensation as well as performance-based earning opportunities tied to class growth.
