Careers at IKIGAI
Join the people behind the experience.
At IKIGAI, we are building more than a yoga studio. We are shaping spaces, experiences, and daily rituals that help people feel clearer, steadier, and more connected in the middle of city life.
Whether through teaching, hospitality, operations, or simply the energy of a warm welcome, every role at IKIGAI helps define how our community feels the moment they walk through the door.
We are not always actively hiring, but we are always interested in meeting thoughtful people who feel aligned with what we are creating.
We care deeply about details, atmosphere, and quality, while keeping the experience warm, approachable, and grounded.
Working at IKIGAI means learning through real experience, developing people skills, and becoming part of a business that is still evolving.
You will be immersed in a world shaped by movement, mindfulness, community, and modern wellness, right at the heart of Hong Kong.
We are currently fully staffed across both operations and teaching, but we are always open to meeting strong future talent. Explore the two paths below and get a feel for what joining IKIGAI could look like.
A trusted, people-focused operations role with growth potential for those who want responsibility and long-term impact.
For teachers with a grounded presence, a strong sense of care, and a desire to contribute to a thoughtful and modern studio experience.
You are someone people naturally rely on.
You enjoy being the first point of contact, the calm presence, the person who helps things flow. When you are on shift, the studio feels organised, welcoming, and taken care of.
You are organised, dependable, and calm under pressure. You like understanding how things work behind the scenes, and you care about creating smooth, high-quality experiences for both clients and teams.
At IKIGAI, Customer Care & Community Associates are deeply involved in the daily running of the studios. You are not just supporting operations, you are learning them.
You will work closely with the operations team and founders, gaining exposure to scheduling, client services, systems, and studio coordination. Over time, this role can develop into a more senior operations position for the right person.
You will welcome and check in members, first-timers, and guests with professionalism and genuine care.
You will support daily studio operations including bookings, payments, scheduling coordination, and internal communication.
You will help maintain high operational standards across studios, ensuring consistency, cleanliness, and readiness.
You will support teachers and relay operational or client-related information clearly and promptly.
You will assist with administrative and operational tasks, helping improve systems, processes, and efficiency over time.
You will gradually take on more responsibility as trust and experience grow.
You have a genuine interest in wellness, people, and service.
You are friendly, reliable, and attentive to details.
You are detail-oriented and comfortable following systems and processes.
You are curious about operations, coordination, and how businesses run.
You are comfortable with computer tools and are willing to learn booking systems. Experience with Mindbody is a plus, but not required.
You communicate clearly and professionally in English and Cantonese. Mandarin is a plus.
You may already have experience in hospitality, wellness, fitness, or customer-facing roles, or you may be earlier in your career but looking for a serious learning opportunity.
At IKIGAI, teaching is about much more than delivering a class. It is about holding space with clarity, presence, maturity, and care.
We value teachers who can guide a room well, connect with students genuinely, and contribute to a studio culture that feels refined, grounded, and welcoming.
We are not looking for one single style of teaching. What matters most is alignment. A strong teacher at IKIGAI understands quality, respects the student experience, and knows how to make yoga feel both meaningful and accessible.
We are especially drawn to teachers who combine strong technical foundations with emotional intelligence, humility, and a real desire to support people through practice.
You are not only guiding a class. You are contributing to the wider feeling of the studio.
That includes the way students are welcomed, the consistency of the experience, the way classes are held, and the trust the community builds over time.
We are especially interested in teachers who understand that premium does not mean intimidating. It means thoughtful, clear, mature, and deeply attentive to people.
If you see yoga as both a practice and a way to help people navigate real life with more steadiness and awareness, there may be a fit in the future.
We are not actively expanding the teaching team at the moment.
That said, we are always open to hearing from exceptional teachers who feel genuinely aligned with IKIGAI and would like to be considered for future openings.
You are welcome to email us, and you are also welcome to visit one of our studios and introduce yourself to the team in person.
If you feel genuinely aligned with IKIGAI, you are still welcome to introduce yourself. You can send your CV, background, and a short note to hello@ikigai.hk. You are also welcome to stop by one of our studios and say hello to the team in person.
Please note that due to the volume of messages we receive, we may not always be able to reply quickly to every email. Still, strong introductions are always appreciated and kept in mind for future opportunities.
A full week of free classes for newcomers.
Discover our studios, explore yoga and meditation classes, and enjoy 7 days of complimentary access between 16th and 26th April.
