The ideal candidate will have 500 hours of yoga education, experience teaching in a college environment, experience teaching remotely and face-to-face, and/or the knowledge to teach multiple classes in the field, including chanting/mantra, yoga philosophy, history, and sacred texts.

Classes could be in-person or online depending on academic needs. Positions are contingent upon need each semester as determined by student enrollment levels, the current course offering matrix, and demand, which is driven by graduation requirements.  Positions may be filled or eliminated each semester up to the deadline for students to drop or add courses.  Candidates who are selected for these positions will report to Amber Burke, Holistic Health and Healing Arts Coordinator, who can be reached at [email protected] .

Our 200-Hour YTT prioritizes accessibility, inclusion, anatomy, and yoga philosophy/history. Find out more about us here: https://taos.unm.edu/academics/departments/depts/health-sciences/hhha/yoga.html
