Resident Yoga Teacher






Opportunity description
Resident Yoga Teacher/Facilitator Position, Starting January 2025
Hello Yogis and Wellness Facilitators!
Are you ready to teach and live on a remote, tropical island paradise in the Philippines? Located on Darocotan Island we are seeking a vibrant, community-oriented yoga teacher / wellness facilitator to join our team as a resident instructor, starting in early January 2025.
About DRYFT
DRYFT is a boutique eco-glamping retreat and hotel located on a stunning, off-grid island near El Nido, Palawan. Our venue is designed to harmonize with nature, featuring an iconic, artistically built jungle yoga shala that accommodates up to 30 mats; sustainably crafted accommodations, and a team dedicated to creating memorable guest experiences. While we primarily operate as a hotel, we also offer flexible yoga holiday packages and group yoga classes that are open to both hotel and wellness guests.
The Role
As a resident teacher/facilitator, you will:
- Lead two daily yoga classes (e.g., dynamic morning flow and slower afternoon styles like Yin or Hatha), with the schedule typically shared with one other resident teacher.
- Share your unique skills through additional modalities (if applicable) such as:
- Sound healing
- Meditation
- Breathwork
- Pilates
- Conscious dance
- Energy practices (Reiki, Theta, etc.)
- Creative arts
- Coaching
- Fitness workouts
- Create a welcoming environment by connecting with guests during meal times and around the camp.
- Offer private sessions or workshops, which can provide significant additional earning opportunities.
What We’re Looking For
- RYT-certified yoga teacher with at least 1 year of regular teaching experience.
- Comfortable teaching a range of levels, including beginners.
- Friendly, inclusive, and adaptable personality.
- Proficiency in English (not necessarily native, but confident for teaching non-native speakers).
- Availability for a minimum 4-week residency, starting January 2025.
We are ideally looking for a yoga teacher who also offers other wellness modalities to help expand our offerings and create an even richer experience for our guests.
What We Offer
This is a work exchange position, where your teaching of group classes is compensated through:
- Accommodation in a comfortable glamping tent (queen-sized bed, shared bathrooms). During busier periods, you may share the tent with the other resident teacher (different beds, same gender).
- Three daily meals prepared by our talented kitchen team.
- Access to snorkel and SUP equipment.
- Significant potential to earn additional income through private sessions or workshops, based on agreed modalities and guest interest.
- A once-in-a-lifetime chance to live on a remote island surrounded by natural beauty, vibrant sunsets, and a welcoming community.
Life on the Island
Darocotan Island is remote and off-grid—perfect for those who want to live close to nature. DRYFT is a 15-minute boat ride and a 45-minute drive from El Nido town. While the location is idyllic, island life comes with its challenges, requiring adaptability and openness. Our community is close-knit, our environment eco-conscious, and our lifestyle aligned with the rhythms of the island.
