Share your talents in a real community near São Paulo, Brazil

  Description

  Welcome to our small, community-driven school of practice in Ribeirão Pires (about 1 hour from São Paulo, surrounded by Atlantic Forest).
  
  Here you’ll experience movement + culture + community — not just a place to sleep. We run Yôga and body-awareness practices, cultural moments, and a warm but disciplined space.
  
  This is not a “busy hostel job.”
  This is a real exchange: presence, contribution, and connection.
  
  What makes this place special
  You don’t just stay in a room — you enter a community.
  You don’t just “help” — you contribute with your talent.
  You don’t just visit Brazil — you live Brazil (sometimes breakfast together + Sunday street market + community moments).
  
  I’m Luc. I run the space with a small circle of support. There is no large staff — this is intentionally human-sized.
  
  2026 focus: we prioritize volunteer instructors
  We are looking for people who can:
  Teach regular classes and occasionally substitute the host
  Offer 1–2 workshops during the stay
  Lead a simple cultural sharing: “My country in 45 minutes”
  
  Stay: ideally 10–15 days (max 2 weeks)
  
  Best fit: proactive, communicative, punctual, and comfortable with a calm home + active evenings (most classes happen at night and weekends).

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  This exchange is built on practice + presence + community.
  
  You can learn and experience:
  Yôga and body-awareness methods through real practice
  Brazilian daily culture from the inside (breakfast + Sunday market + community events)
  How a small community space runs with discipline and warmth
  Sharing talents in a real group, not a staged environment
  
  And we learn from you too — through your workshops and your culture talk.
  The exchange is real, not performative.

  Aide

  1) Teaching (Priority #1)
  You can teach regular classes and occasionally substitute the host.
  To be considered for this, please share a link/video of you teaching + your teaching background.
  
  2) Workshops (Priority #2)
  During your stay, you can offer 1–2 workshops (dance, mobility, breathing, meditation, body awareness, cooking, music, etc.).
  Before arrival, send a proposal with: title + duration + what people will learn + best day/time.
  
  3) Studio support (simple but serious)
  When you are supportting a class, you must:
  Arrive 20 minutes early (open the studio, water, fresh air, welcome people)
  After class: organize the space + vacuum when needed
  To keep the studio running smoothly, this is required.
  
  4) Content (we need real life, not staged marketing)
  Per class you attend: 3–5 good photos OR a 20–30s video.
  Simple and consistent.
  
  5) Home rhythm (light, respectful)
  Keep your room/bathroom/kitchen clean.
  Twice a week, help with a light common-area task (e.g., vacuum).
  
  Cultural sharing (mandatory, easy, meaningful)
  Once per stay: “My country in 45 minutes” (music, places, stories, food, language).
  Real and human — not a formal presentation.
