• Strong understanding of yoga poses and child-friendly teaching techniques.
• Ability to maintain a "calm but firm" command of a group of 15–20 children.
• Reliable transportation to travel between Glen Burnie and Annapolis.
• Background Check: Must pass a comprehensive fingerprinting and background check meeting Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) vendor standards.
