  Description

  Hey there, yoga teachers!
  
  We are currently looking for a yoga exchange! Let us know if you are available, we will be happy to have you here!
  
  ------------------
  
  Hey there -
  
  We discovered this beautiful island in 2007, while travelling around Mexico for the first time, searching for colors, new experiences, tastes and feelings. Our hostel is a familiar place opened in 2010 on the remote island of ‘Holbox’.
  
  The hostel was built from scratch and most of the furniture, details, paintings were made with a lot of love and a HUGE help by our volunteers during all these years. We always wanted to create a different hostel, not just a place where people sleep... but a place that makes people smile every time they think about it.
  
  This is a vibrant and colorful place, with a lot of plants and great people on a tiny paradise in Mexico!!
  
  Our mission is to transform holidays here into an EXPERIENCE where guests from all over the world help us create a space filled with music, art & culture. We also have a nice bar that offers different activities every night: jam sessions, movie nights, live music, quiz nights, giant Jenga, dress-up parties and projects more to be done. Reason why we accept volunteers all year long :)
  
  
  ▶▶▶▶▶▶▶ PLEASE READ ▶▶▶▶▶▶▶
  
  Minimum age is 23, please don`t message if you`re younger than that (does not apply to yoga teacher or chef).
  
  ▶▶VERY IMPORTANT: Please check the schedule before you message us. If the color is red, we dont need more volunteers. If we need more people last minute, we will change the color again.
  
  ▶▶We only plan about 2 weeks in advance so please only message us 2-3 weeks before you want to come to holbox. We get lots of messages every day and lose overview otherwise. Also, we need people who are flexible with the dates, as last minute changes can occur. Ideally you are already in the country when you message us and will be in Mexico for a longer period of time.
  
  When you message us, put "PART OF THE TEAM" as your first sentence so we can make sure you have read our profile description.
  
  We are looking for a dedicated ☛“social butterfly” ☚This could involve organising trips to the beach, sunset beers or getting a group together for a night out.
  
  The perfect volunteer is someone who loves interacting with people, is highly energetic, flexible and able to communicate in English and Spanish to rally our guests together to have the best time possible. We will also need you to do some flyering in the evenings.
  
  
  Almost all the staff is from México, so you will be around all the Mexican culture and family :D

  Help

  Without our volunteers, it wouldn't be what it is.
  Even before we opened our doors, we were already welcoming traveling souls eager to be part of this experience. That’s why we continue to receive volunteers from around the world—people who come with the desire to share, learn, and leave their unique mark.
  
  For us, a volunteer is much more than a helping hand. You become part of the family, someone who brings life to the space and helps create the memories that live here.
  
  The exchange consists of 3-hour shifts, 6 days a week, in return for accommodation in a shared dorm inside the hostel.
  Tasks are diverse and shift according to the needs of the moment, as well as your skills or interests. They may include: general maintenance, gardening, leading guest activities, yoga classes or other offerings.
  
  As a small thank you for your energy and commitment, we offer discounted drinks at the bar and other special perks for our crew.
  
  We ask for a minimum stay of 6 weeks, as we value rooted, meaningful processes.
  
  If you have any questions or would like to share more about yourself, feel free to reach out.
  We can't wait to meet you and welcome you with open hearts.

  Sin nuestros voluntarios, no sería lo que es.
  Desde antes de abrir nuestras puertas, ya dábamos la bienvenida a almas viajeras que querían formar parte de esta experiencia. Por eso, seguimos recibiendo con alegría a voluntarios de distintas partes del mundo que llegan con ganas de compartir, aprender y dejar huella.
  
  Para nosotros, un voluntario es mucho más que una mano de ayuda: es parte de la familia, alguien que trae vida al espacio y que se convierte en cómplice de los recuerdos que aquí se crean.
  
  La colaboración se basa en turnos de 3 horas al día, 6 días a la semana, a cambio de alojamiento en un dormitorio compartido dentro del hostel.
  Las tareas son variadas y se asignan según las necesidades del momento y también las habilidades o intereses de cada quien. Entre ellas están: apoyo en mantenimiento general, jardinería, liderar actividades con los huéspedes, clases de yoga u otras propuestas.
  
  Además, como pequeño agradecimiento por tu energía y compromiso, ofrecemos descuentos especiales en bebidas del bar y otros beneficios que celebran el espíritu de comunidad.
  
  Pedimos una estancia mínima de 6 semanas, ya que valoramos los procesos que toman raíz.
  
  Si tienes dudas o deseas compartir algo más sobre ti, estamos aquí para escucharte.
  Nos encantará conocerte y recibirte con el corazón abierto.
