Help for yoga villa in rural south Skaane, Sweden

Details

• 

  Description

  My name is Winnie. I am looking for volunteers who want to put in the hard work to help turn my house into an international yoga villa.
  
  We practice yoga every morning and volunteers become part of our family and social network. I have 2 sons 20 and 23 years old, with a passion for music composition.
  
  Your most important qualification is that you are open-minded and that you feel like putting in the hard work to bring this place into life.
  
  I host 2-4 workawayers; proactive, efficient and self-driven:
  
  I have been a backpacker myself for many years and I see this as a chance for cultural exchange (literally traveling inside my own house).
  
  The minimum stay is one month, because we make friends with our workawayers (often family as well). I see workaway as an opportunity for us to grow together.
  
  I invite young people who are / or have an interest in
  
  1. Who can help me with household and garden task, such as cooking, cleaning etc.
  
  2. Handy or artistic,
  
  2. Digital nomads, or people who like to post on Facebook / Insta, take pictures, video editing for my personal accounts
  
  3. If you have some amateur mechanic skills, and want to give it a go with car repair of my old Volvo a go you are also very welcome.
  
  Food is vegetarian and we seek to minimize our imprint on the environment by drinking homemade oat milk and minimizing food that contributes to deforestation, such as cheese and milk and bitter. We normally eat oat for breakfast.
  
  Daily schedule:
  
  08.00 - 8.30 : wake up. Coffee, detox smoothie, tea. Your personal morning routine.
  
  09.00 - 10.30 : Yoga. I teach yoga most days when I can, (you should continue your practice even when I am not available). When the weather is good we practice on the beach.
  
  10.30 - 11.00: Breakfast. (we normally oat /fruit buffe)
  
  11.00 - 14.00: Work.
  
  14.00 -15.00: Lunch. (left overs with homemade bread with humus)
  
  15.00 - 17.00 Work.
  
  23-00 - 08.00: Quite time.
  
  In the evening we take turns cooking for each other (weekends are often less planned) . I emphasize cooking with lentils and beans so that we get proteins and avoid deforestation.
  
  Evenings are free. Participation in yoga classes or other activities is voluntary. If we work in the weekend we take a day off during the week.
  
  I talk with all workawayers on WhatsApp /messenger/telegram before their arrival to adjust expectations. I write my phone number and address when you write.
  
  NB: This is a nonsmoking place and I do not have a place for animals or children. People who smoke hash or take drugs will be asked to leave.

  What's this?

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We usually practice yoga in the morning and during weekends and I teach my classes for free.
  
  We are passionate Latino dancers and often involve volunteers who feel like participating in or learning our passion.
  
  You will improve your existing skills. We also learn a lot from our workawayers.
  
  Often our volunteers become our friends and family, they meet our friends and sometimes they become their friends as well.
