What’s the heart of this role? Our community! You’ll teach in a tight-knit community of climbers, many of whom understand climbing as “yoga on the vertical” for the mindfulness and physical presence it requires. Here at HMB, you’ll be able to guide the practice of fairly cohesive groups of students. The small studio caters mainly to our members, so you’ll get to know your audience, get their input directly, and have a significant impact on their wellbeing. If you’re looking for a place where community matters, you’re warmly welcome here!
