Join Our Team!

Yoga Playgrounds is actively seeking yoga teachers who are interested in teaching yoga to kids on site at schools throughout Portland and the surrounding cities. Classes for elementary age kids (grades K-5) take place after school, and classes for preschool kids (ages 3-5) take place during the day as well as after school.
