    We’re currently welcoming two enthusiastic volunteers to join us in the Ecuadorian Andes! One volunteer will take the role of certified yoga instructor, and the other will focus on photography, video, and social media content creation.

    YOGA VOLUNTEER
    We offer our guests two free yoga classes per day—one energizing morning class at 7am and one soft, relaxing session at 5pm after a day of hiking. You’ll teach in our cozy yoga studio with space for 12 mats and stunning mountain views. As the yoga teacher, you’re responsible for preparing and leading the classes, and for keeping the studio and equipment (mats, knee pads, belts, blocks) clean and organized.
    There’s a small tip box for you, you’re welcome to offer private sessions for an extra income.
    Minimum commitment: 5 weeks

    CONTENT CREATOR VOLUNTEER
    We’re also looking for a social, outgoing storyteller to capture and share the magic of this place! You'll take photos and videos of the guests, hikes, lodge, and surroundings, and help us keep our social media fresh and engaging. Ideally, you’re confident interacting with travelers and can get creative without needing much direction. Please share a few examples of your past content or social media work.
    Minimum commitment: 3 weeks
