Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
• The Ashram has a small, diverse community who strive to live in present moment consciousness. Yoga, meditation and karma yoga are daily practices.
• Workawayers contribute to the community during their stay and participate in daily talks, meditations and other activities.
• In most instances, Workawayers have a room of their own but occasionally it may be necessary to share a room.
• The food is 100% vegetarian.
• Smoking, alcohol, illegal drugs, fish, and meat are not permitted within grounds.
• Workawayer engagements are for a period of 1 month.
If you are interested in being a Workawayer at our Yoga Centre, please apply by return email and send us relevant yoga/meditation experience together with information about your interest in an environment. Let us know what skills and talents you can offer us.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
