Yoga Instruction:
- Lead a few excellent yoga classes for our guests (e.g. Vinyasa flow or Restorative Yin style classes with a relaxing, recharging, and easy to follow tempo).
- Classes should be friendly to all levels, and not super challenging as guests will be getting plenty of workouts in with their intensive surf schedule.

- Ensure smooth transitions for surf sessions, excursions, and downtime.

Elevated Hosting:
- Assist with serving drinks and ensuring guests feel pampered, like they’re at a high-end boutique retreat (because they are!).

You Are:
- A People Person: You love chatting, listening, and making others feel seen and included.
- Detail-Oriented: You notice the little things and care about creating beautiful spaces and moments.
- Adaptable: You’re calm under pressure and can think on your feet.
- A Team Player: You can collaborate and support the entire retreat team (chefs, coaches, staff, etc.) to make the experience incredible for guests.
- Excited About the Surf Lifestyle: You don’t need to be a good surfer, but you love the ocean and understand the rhythms of a surf-centric day.
Requirements:
