Casting Call: Summer with Shakti Teacher/Therapist Residency
CALLING ALL YOGA/MEDITATION/DANCE/FITNESS TEACHERS + THERAPISTS!
We are in search for the best of the best wellness teachers and alchemy spa therapists to join our team for a summer in the beautiful Rocky Mountains… Aspen, Colorado!
Hundreds of incredible leaders, entrepreneurs, adventurists and change agents from around the world flock to our valley every summer for vacation, inspiration and adventure. We seek to add an elite and powerful fleet of passionate instructors, healers, movers and shakers to our team. We are open to you bringing the best of you and new, innovative class/alchemy spa ideas/offerings in order to build on our studio to be the ‘what’s hot’ for variety, spirit, soul, and integrity in the classroom. We are making waves in the world of what it can look and feel like to experience personal transformation – mind body and spirit – so .. . if you think you got ‘what it takes’, WE WANT YOU!!
We strive to work with people who feel like they can elevate consciousness and bring their students to their highest vibration possible… we also strive to align with BKS Iyengar’s definition of what a teacher aspires to embody and offer to their students:
‘The teacher should be clear, clever, confident, challenging, cautious, constructive, courageous, comprehending, creative, completely devoted and dedicated to knowing the subject, considerate, conscientious, critical, committed, cheerful, chaste and calm.”

The reality of Aspen . .
Aspen is a wonderful, magnificent, beautiful, ALIVE and highly inspiring and dynamic place to live. It is also a very expensive place to live and housing is not the easiest to find. However, it IS possible, and MANY people come to live here just for the season every year. If you are driven and hungry, this place will swoop you up and magic happens all the time. Aspen Shakti is still a small business and our budget does not always match our creativity, goals and ideas . . . but we don’t let that stop us. We do imagine you will need a second job in addition to teaching at Shakti and you will need to plan ahead for housing. Owner, Jayne Gottlieb, has lived in the valley for over 17 years and is a great resource to help guide you, and she’s very connected, but it’s important to know that there are some things to think about before you apply. If you are the kind who manifests miracles regularly, this job is perfect for you . . but just offering a word to the wise before you dive in wholeheartedly.
Please submit by May 1st. We will then hand pick teachers for a follow up interview via skype!
