Description

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 COUPLE or TWO GOOD FRIENDS to volunteer from Mon Feb 10th - Saturday, March 10th. (Note: please don't apply if if you're a single applicant!) Ideally you have had some previous hospitality training or hotel experience. Are you outgoing, grounded, self-motivated and enjoy being part of a team? You'll need to be a sensitive listener and able to communicate confidently 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 need to be mature, sociable, patient and kind, well organised and self-aware. You must be in good health, as this is not a place for you to recuperate from illness, nor to be on retreat - that is what our guests come here for! (NB: 'Spiritual seekers' and 'navel gazers' need not apply!).
