Role overview

Ayoka is a movement, nourishment, and wellbeing destination opening in Midtown Toronto. Built around small-format Reformer Pilates, functional nutrition, recovery, and café culture, we are creating a place where people can build lasting wellbeing through consistent, intentional practice.

We believe exceptional instruction is at the heart of that experience. Every class should feel personal, purposeful, and thoughtfully guided. That's why we're building a team of instructors who care as deeply about people as they do about movement.

We're hiring Reformer Pilates Instructors, across three experience levels — Junior Instructor, Senior Instructor, and Pilates Lead — and will determine the best fit based on your experience, teaching style, leadership potential, and long-term alignment with Ayoka.

The Role

As a Reformer Pilates Instructor at Ayoka, you'll teach Reformer Pilates classes that are safe, engaging, and intelligently programmed while creating an environment where members feel welcomed, supported, and inspired to build a lasting movement practice.

You'll teach in an intimate boutique studio where quality comes before volume, supported by thoughtful programming, premium equipment, ongoing education, and a collaborative team. As a founding team member, you'll also have the opportunity to help shape the culture and experience of the studio from day one.

Depending on your experience, opportunities may also include private training, member onboarding, instructor mentorship, programming support, and studio leadership.

Deliver exceptional reformer Pilates classes with confidence, clarity, and intention.
Guide members through thoughtful progressions, modifications, and personalized instruction.
Create an inclusive, supportive environment where members feel challenged, capable, and encouraged.
Maintain the highest standards of professionalism, safety, and studio presentation.
Contribute to a collaborative culture built on learning, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Senior and Lead instructors may also support programming, mentorship, and instructor development.

Qualifications

Reformer Pilates certification from a recognized training program.
Comprehensive Pilates certification is a strong asset.
Strong technical understanding of reformer Pilates and safe teaching practices.
Professional, reliable, and committed to delivering an exceptional member experience.

Opportunities

Junior Instructor - For newer certified instructors looking to build their teaching experience within a supportive, mentorship-focused environment.
Senior Instructor - For experienced instructors who consistently deliver exceptional classes across a wide range of member abilities.
Pilates Lead - For accomplished instructors who combine excellent teaching with mentorship, programming support, and leadership within the studio.

Full-time and part-time opportunities are available.

Availability Requirements

Early Morning, late evening, and weekend availability is considered an asset.
Your availability must reflect the needs of the business, which may change from time to time at the discretion of the Studio Lead/Manager or Business Owners.
Full Time -- 30-40 hours per week (5 days per week)
Part Time -- 10-30 hours per week (2-4 days per week)
