Job Description

Pilates Teacher— Wine Country Movement | Napa, CA

Lead. Mentor. Move. Help Others Heal.

About Wine Country Movement

Wine Country Movement is Napa Valley's only Stott-equipped Pilates studio in Southwest Napa — a holistic wellness sanctuary where mindful movement and restorative therapy come together under one roof. Located in the heart of Browns Valley at 3247 Browns Valley Rd, we are a boutique, community-rooted studio serving clients on healing journeys: post-surgical recovery, lymphedema care, chronic pain management, and everyday wellness.

Our team of 6–10 certified practitioners brings warmth, expertise, and genuine care to every session. We are not a big-box gym. We are a neighborhood sanctuary — and we are growing.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced, mission-aligned Pilates Teacher to join our expanding team in a dual-capacity role:

1. Lead Pilates classes at the studio across all levels and populations — including general wellness, post-surgical, and therapeutic clients.
2. Mentor and instruct within our in-house Pilates Teacher Training Program — helping shape the next generation of qualified, compassionate instructors.

This is a rare opportunity for a senior instructor who is ready to lead not just classes, but people. If you believe movement is medicine, love nurturing talent in others, and want to do meaningful work in a collaborative, boutique environment, we would love to meet you.

Key Responsibilities

• Teach Pilates group classes (all levels) with a maximum of 6 clients per class
• Design and deliver an individualized movement experience aligned with each client's goals and physical needs
• Serve as a lead instructor and mentor within our in-house Teacher Training Program Saturdays 2-7p and Sundays 12-5 as needed.
• Share curriculum, assess trainee progress, and provide constructive, encouraging feedback to instructors in training
• Collaborate with our massage therapy and wellness team to support clients with complex recovery or therapeutic needs
• Maintain the highest standards of client safety, technique, and care in every session
• Contribute to a warm, professional studio culture that reflects our values

Qualifications

Required

• Comprehensive Pilates certification (full apparatus)
• Minimum 1 years of teaching experience, including group class instruction
• Demonstrated experience mentoring or training other Pilates instructors
• Strong communication skills and a genuine passion for client education and wellbeing
• Comfort working with a therapeutic, medically informed client population (post-surgical, chronic conditions, or similar)
• Ability to work within a collaborative, boutique studio environment

Preferred

• Master Trainer or senior instructor credentials through a recognized Pilates organization
• Stott Pilates training or Classical certification
• Experience in wellness settings with a rehabilitation or therapeutic focus
• Familiarity with populations such as post-operative recovery, lymphedema, or oncology clients
• Background in movement education, anatomy, or a complementary modality (yoga, physical therapy, etc.)

What You Will Love About Working Here

A studio that means something. We are not a chain. Every client who walks through our door is trusting us with their body and their healing. That matters to us — and it will matter to you.

Boutique class sizes. With a maximum of 5 clients per class, you will actually know your clients. You will see their progress. You will feel the impact of your work.

A team that has your back. Our practitioners bring decades of combined expertise across Pilates, massage therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, yoga, and post-surgical care. You will have colleagues who challenge and support you.

Room to grow. We are actively expanding — adding staff, building out our in-house training program, and growing our footprint in the Napa Valley wellness community. This role grows with us.

A beautiful space. Stott equipment in a thoughtfully designed, serene studio environment. No fluorescent lights, no crowded locker rooms — just a space where people come to heal.

Competitive compensation. We invest in our team. Compensation details will be discussed during the interview process and reflect your experience and credentials.
