Description

We are in an Eco Yoga Ashram on a beautifull island located over the sacred Ganges river. This is one of nine islands, considered one of the sacrest place in the world.
The enviroment has an unique tropical beauty, sourrounded by the rivers Ganges and Saraswati. Is a quiet place with an small, friendly and colourfull population.
The climate here is hot all around the year, with beatifull sunrises and sunsets, with full coconuts trees landscape, monkeys, cows, yoguis walking on the streets; rice, sugar cane and flowers fields, and colourfull street markets.

We are a group of persons from different countries who live in this beautifull Asram in accordance to the antiques yoga teachings. We use to wake up early in the morning to meditate chanting mystics mantras, working in harmony with nature and sharing with people, who visit us, this intesting way of life.

Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?

In developing countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allows this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteers stay. (This this will be clearly marked on the host listing).
We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents or “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.

$10 us dollars per day to go towards project
