    🧘‍♀️ URGENT - Yoga teacher wanted for NOVEMBER

    Hi! Welcome to our hostel, our little piece of paradise where yoga and surf are a daily business. We are a hostel with a true family vibe on the beach of Puerto Engabao, a small fishing village in Ecuador. We opened 8 years ago, and we know our guests by name.
    We are strong believers that here you'll find a family and friendships that will last a lifetime. Our hostel is a place where you'll enjoy the company of travelers and other volunteers from all over the world. We want to create memories and moments that'll make you say "Here is where I belong!"

    This is a real position in our team, not a holiday: around 25 hours a week (around 15 for yoga teachers), for at least 4 weeks. In exchange, you get a bed, 2 meals a day, daily yoga, and a life on the beach.
    Volunteers uniquely looking for cheap ways to travel are not welcome. We want volunteers who want to get involved, use their skills, and learn new skills!

    The fishing village of Puerto Engabao where we chose to build our hostel is the perfect spot to mingle with locals and practice your Spanish. You will have the chance to practice yoga every day in front of the ocean and to improve your surfing with our lessons. You will also learn what it takes to run a hostel: hosting guests, working as a team, and taking responsibility for your position.
