The Phoenix is looking for certified yoga instructors to lead yoga classes for our sober-active community once a week. If you have a background in yoga, have direct experience in recovery (ideal but not a requirement), and/or passionate about making a difference in people's lives by dedicating only 1-2 hours of your time a week, we want to hear from you! If you do not have a yoga background but are simply passionate about participating in our sober-active community, we want to hear from you too!
As a Volunteer Yoga Instructor, you will:
- Have a 200YTT certificate + CPR/AED (we can provide CPR training if necessary)
- Lead 1 class every week, depending on community needs (1-2 hours MAX)
- Commit to long-term volunteering, ideally 3+ months if possible
- Complete our Phoenix 101 and FEPSIA Training (all completed online)
- Help spread the word and bring a friend (or two) to help drive attendance!
- Be age 18+
We are ultimately seeking someone who genuinely loves to help others.
Note: Currently all events are held in outdoor spaces. We require both instructors and participants to wear masks and practice social-distancing 6-8 feet minimum at all times. Every event we will provide supplies, equipment, and PPE.
Once you submit this form, our Program Coordinator will reach out a time to speak with you.

Mission Statement
The Phoenix offers a free sober active community to individuals who have suffered from a substance use disorder and to those who choose a sober life. Using a peer support model, we help members heal and rebuild their lives while also striving to eliminate stigma around recovery.
Description
The ultimate impact Phoenix seeks is to help individuals not only achieve sobriety, but to thrive in recovery. The Phoenix Model is unique because of its non-clinical approach that uses the power of human connection and positive coping mechanisms through physical activity to help people heal from the underlying causes of addiction.
Phoenix peer instructors use an experiential approach that leverages innate goal-setting association with engagement in physical activities while facilitating a positive and supportive experience, allowing team members to shed the defense mechanisms that have historically kept them isolated. By bringing people together, Phoenix creates a community where people can heal, obtain essential life skills, and practice effective social interaction. Research suggests facilitating physical activity, social connection and community are potent strategies for promoting health and healing from disease.
