Yoga Teacher in GP Practice
Volunteer Centre Hackney
Are you passionate about using yoga to help NHS patients improve their health and wellbeing? Join our community programme of volunteers in GP Practices, Together Better, as a volunteer yoga teacher and make a real difference in people’s lives.
Together Better is a Volunteer Centre Hackney project that aims to lighten the load on GP surgeries and encourage NHS patients into activities that will benefit their health and wellbeing, by supporting them to build inclusive and sustainable relationships and overall healthier lives. We are looking for a yoga volunteer to deliver a weekly gentle yoga class for patients at a GP surgery based in N16. As a volunteer yoga teacher, you'll lead weekly group sessions for patients and community members in a welcoming, non-clinical space. We are open to any type of yoga, but bear in mind that you will be working with a wide range of different bodies and capabilities. We’re seeking a volunteer to continue a much-loved activity with Together Better at Spring Hill Practice. You’ll be fully supported to run your own yoga class for patients. You'll be offering more than just physical activity; you'll be helping people to connect, reduce stress, and gain confidence in their bodies.

Volunteers must have a basic qualification and professional insurance in the chosen exercise and feel confident leading a small group. They should also be friendly, approachable, and comfortable working with people of varying ages and abilities. Good communication skills and reliability are essential, as is the ability to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
Volunteers will gain valuable experience in leading group exercise classes, develop skills in communication and community engagement, and build confidence in delivering health-focused activities. They’ll also gain a deeper understanding of patient wellbeing and social prescribing in a primary care setting. This role offers regular social contact, a sense of purpose, and the chance to make a real difference. Ongoing support and training are provided.
Minimum 1hour weekly class + volunteer support sessions once every 6 weeks.
