You can look forward to:

  • Secure and comfortable shared accommodation

  • Amazing plant-based food

  • Meeting like-minded people

  • Daily yoga classes and workshops

  • Evening programs - such as Yoga Nidra, Kirtan, and sound healings

  • A truly life-changing journey of spiritual growth and self-improvement

  • The opportunity to live in our healthy, nurturing retreat environment, surrounded by nature

Areas of Service

  • Kitchen

  • Housekeeping

  • Maintenance & Construction

Karma Yoga Hours Expected

Each resident gives back to the community by contributing a minimum of 28 hours of selfless service (karma yoga) each week, across seven days.

“Selfless service is not only a job or task to be done, it is an act of healing, opening hearts, and radiating love. The heart of the giver is soothed, healed, and filled with love. The giving also heals the hearts of the recipients, opening their eyes to the humanity of others.”

What you will need to bring

  • Good solid closed working shoes

  • Suitable clothes for different weather conditions (layers & raincoat for winter)

  • Water bottle

  • Sunscreen and a hat

  • Personal toiletries (please make sure they’re eco-friendly)

  • A positive attitude and a big smile

Accommodation

There are separate living sections for females and males. We provide shared rooms that fit two people. It is very important to keep the rooms neat and tidy, especially when sharing the space with others. Please note it is part of the yoga residency program to be sharing living spaces such as a bedroom and bathroom with other residents.

How long can you stay?

The minimum stay is 4 months. Toward the end of these 4 months we evaluate with you if you intend to stay for a longer period of time.

We are certainly looking for long-term residents who like to immerse themselves in the yogic lifestyle and are suitable for community living.

We like to divide your time with us in blocks of four months. During this time we will review your situation ongoing to see how things are working out. As in any relationship, it will ultimately depend on our mutual experience and on the degree to which we share the same values, visions and ideals.

We are confident your time here with us will be enjoyable, uplifting and a truly life-changing experience.
