**About Us**
Paws and Poses offers unique wellness events that combine yoga/pilates with playful puppy cuddles. We partner with local breeders and rescues to create joyful experiences that support physical health, mental wellbeing, and animal socialisation. We're a small business with a big heart, and we're looking for passionate, reliable people to grow with us.
**Position Overview**
As a Puppy Yoga Instructor, you'll be the heart of our classes — leading fun, beginner-friendly yoga flows while creating a warm, inclusive, and uplifting atmosphere. Our events are about connection, mindfulness, and joy, so while you'll be guiding yoga, you'll also be comfortable with the playful interruptions that come from having adorable puppies in the room.
You must be adaptable, confident leading groups of all abilities, and passionate about creating a memorable experience for every participant. Weekend availability is essential, as most of our events are held on Saturdays and Sundays.
