A small "boutique" style yoga hotel with a capacity for up to 15 international guests each week. We are located in the Alpujarra hills of the Sierra Nevada in southern Spain near Granada, about 1.5 hours from Malaga airport.

We are looking for a volunteer from Mon Feb 10th - Saturday, March 10th. Ideally we prefer you to be age 30+ and to have some previous training in hospitality/hotels. You need to be grounded, self-motivated, confident and enjoy being part of a team. You'll need to be a sensitive listener too and be able to communicate well with staff and guests.

To help you carry out your duties we will give you some basic training. Your duties are in the kitchen, at table and some general work around the retreat. Work is done in the spirit of karma yoga which means working with awareness and love so that duties are done swiftly and efficiently. You must be in good health, as this is not a place for you to recuperate from illness, or to be on retreat - that is what our guests come here for! (NB: 'Spiritual seekers' and 'navel gazers' need not apply!).
