I am writing to apply for the Yoga Instructor and Studio Manager position at Safaricom PLC, as advertised. With my Diploma in Business Management from Chuka University and hands-on experience in wellness and fitness management along Kenya's coast, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to Safaricom's employee wellness initiatives. My passion for yoga, combined with strong administrative skills, positions me to create inclusive environments that promote mental and physical health, aligning with Kenya's burgeoning fitness culture and Safaricom's commitment to employee well-being.
In my current role as Yoga Instructor and Studio Manager at Coastal Wellness Centre in Malindi since June 2023, I have led daily yoga sessions for up to 20 participants, achieving a 30% improvement in client retention through personalized adaptations suited to our coastal setting. I manage all studio operations, including scheduling, inventory of mats and props, and basic financial tracking, which reduced overhead costs by 15% through efficient negotiations with local suppliers. Additionally, I organized community wellness events in partnership with Malindi hotels, attracting over 50 new members and boosting the studio's visibility in Kenya's tourism-driven fitness scene. Previously, as a Fitness Assistant at Malindi Health Hub from January 2022 to May 2023, I assisted in introductory yoga classes for 15-25 clients, increasing attendance by 20% via engaging promotions, while handling front-desk duties that elevated customer satisfaction to 90% in quarterly reviews.
My skills in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga instruction, studio operations, customer relationship management, event planning, and team leadership, along with first aid and safety protocols, equip me to effectively manage Safaricom's yoga programs. I am eager to bring my expertise in fostering community outreach and ensuring compliance with Kenyan health standards to support your team's wellness goals. I would welcome the chance to discuss how my background can benefit Safaricom PLC.
