Reformer Pilates Instructor

Aria Pilates is a boutique reformer studio in Sleepy Hollow, built around a single idea: that movement, taught well, changes how people feel in their bodies — and that the room you move in matters as much as the work you do there.

Ten Balanced Body Allegro NextGen reformers. A founding team of instructors. A clientele we grow carefully, one relationship at a time.

We're hiring instructors who will help define what an Aria class feels like.

You'll teach group reformer classes (capped at 10 clients), duets, and private sessions. Your roster will be mostly first-time and returning intermediate clients — people who chose Aria because they want intentional, considered teaching, not a workout on autopilot.

You'll also help shape how Aria teaches: class formats, music direction, hands-on protocol, what a five-star check-in feels like. This is a role with a voice, not a fill-the-schedule role.

• Lead 12–30 class hours per week, with morning and evening availability
• Teach with precision: clear cueing, considered pacing, attentive corrections, smart modifications
• Build real relationships with clients — know their names, their goals, what their week looked like
• Maintain studio standards: a clean, prepared, beautiful room for every class

• Certified Pilates reformer instructor
• 1+ years teaching reformer in a studio setting
• Working knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, and modifications for common limitations (low back, shoulders, pre/postnatal, mature clients)
• A teaching presence that is warm and exacting in equal measure
• Reliability — prepared, on time, accountable to your schedule

Bonus, not required:

• Specialization in pre/postnatal, athletic conditioning, or rehab-adjacent populations
• Familiarity with Mindbody or comparable studio software
• A clear point of view on Pilates: what you teach, why you teach it that way, and who you do your best work with

• Pay: $40–$75 per class, based on experience, certification, and class type (group, duet, private)
• Status: 1099 contractor; you're free to teach at other studios
• Hours: 12–30 class hours per week to start, growing with the schedule
• Onboarding: paid onboarding before your first class

A 2-minute video of you teaching a recent class is welcome but not required. Shortlisted candidates are invited to teach a sample class at the studio.
