Area: Alpujarra, Sierra Nevada, Granda, Andalucia, Spain

An established retreat centre offering Yoga and Detox courses in one of the most enchanting regions in Andalucia, surrounded by the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada and only half an hour by car to the Mediterranean. Our farmhouse location is a home-from-home for people who love beauty, yoga, tranquility, and above all, a place to find peace, laughter and simplicity. This is an excellent work exchange opportunity for people with an interest in yoga and who would enjoy listening to our guests, without necessarily needing to be the centre of attention. If you are open-hearted, generous, humourous, grounded and stable and are able to receive and give in equal measure, we'd like to hear from you. Self-motivation and genuine self-confidence is very important, as you will be in daily contact with staff and guests. From November to April there are fewer retreats and this is when we rebuild and upgrade. Opportunities are available for people with skills in carpentry, upholstery, general maintenance, painting, and gardening. April to October: there is an opportunity for 2 Workaway people with specific abilities. Ideally we'd like you to stay for 3 months. One person needs to have a firm grasp of general maintenance (pool cleaning, garden watering system, repairing chairs, hammocks, tipis, electric sockets, a leaky tap or shower, car tires/engine coolant etc. Also some work in the kitchen. This position would usually suit a man with a cheerful character and an interest in people and yoga. The second person's job includes assisting in the kitchen, laying/clearing table, chatting with guests at mealtimes and keeping the house tidy after the cleaner goes home. Also mid-week washing & drying (mostly towels). This position would usually suit a woman with a cheerful character and an interest in people and yoga.
