Description
Welcome to our mindfulness oriented hostel on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan! Nestled in a serene environment, our hostel offers a perfect blend of comfort, community and relaxation. We are looking for passionate volunteers to join our family and help us create meaningful experiences for our guests.
We are seeking Meditation & Breathwork Instructors with an outgoing and open heart.
This position requires you to be outgoing and communicative with guests. On top of leading morning/evening pranayama/breathwork and meditation sessions, you would be responsible for leading various activities for our guests and creating a warm, family-like environment within the hostel. Activities include leading day trips around the island to waterfalls, hikes, viewpoints, beaches and art markets, as well as hosting events like movie nights, card games or art jams. It is thus important for us that you have good English communication skills to maintain a fluid conversation to engage and talk with the guests .
We encourage you to share your own ideas for activities you’d enjoy leading, and we’re flexible in ensuring these activities are enjoyable for both you and the guests.We may also ask for your support for little tasks around the hostel.
We are ideally looking for people who have certification for leading sessions. If you do not have certification, you have to be extremely comfortable in teaching and leading because of your own practice.
**Our volunteers are not leading yoga classes**
We also need support in social media.
My main focus for this role is motion content, particularly videos and reels that showcase what we do at Blessings. Some key content ideas include:
• reels about our activities
• reels showcasing our yoga and morning practice
• reels about our café
• reels highlighting our spaces, dorms and venues
One of the most important aspects at the moment is making Blessings more attractive for retreat guests and facilitators who might want to rent and use our space. The target audience consists of people traveling the world to offer and attend yoga retreats, and I’d like to increase visibility for potential collaborations and facilitators on the island who can integrate into our schedule by renting our space for their classes.
The Exchange:
• 20 hours a week: This involves 4 hours a day, 5 days a week and includes two meals a day from our Thai vegan restaurant.
• Community Activities: Apart from your main responsibilities, all volunteers are expected to help create a family-like environment by hosting and participating in activities such as day trips, movie nights, or communal games.
• Accommodation & Lifestyle: We offer a free bed in our dormitory rooms, located just a short walk or drive from the pier and close to the beach. Our hostel is eco-friendly and conscious, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you’ll become part of our family. You will also have access to complimentary morning yoga classes on the beach.
• Helping Around: In addition to leading activities, volunteers should help keep communal areas clean and tidy for guests. We value volunteers who are willing to get their hands dirty and assist in any tasks needed to maintain our lovely environment.
Why Join Us?
By volunteering with us, you’ll experience a beautiful time on a tropical island while embracing an eco-conscious and spiritual lifestyle. We are looking for volunteers with long-term ambitions, especially for the meditation and breathwork roles, as this allows us to maintain continuity and minimize training time.
We look forward to welcoming new, wonderful souls into our family. If you are enthusiastic about creating a positive atmosphere, helping our guests have an unforgettable experience, and being part of a spiritual and conscious community, we would love to hear from you!

The only thing we would say as a "negative" is we wish we had more time with them:)))
Guests loved them, they got along with staff and are very reliable.
Wishing you both all the best!
He fit right into our small community and immersed himself right into work with no instruction or observation needed.

Very friendly, helpful, adventurous and kind!
They were a huge help and aside from a few miscommunications the first few days, (mainly due to English not being the first language to any of the sides:), they were amazing!
Would highly recommend their presence and help to anyone lucky enough to have them!
Thank you guys for everything, we will definitely meet again!!!
Diego arrived at a time where two of the managers was gone and yet I could feel so calm and reassured when he was around.

Was always available, friendly and patient and made sure everything ran… read more
