Tuve el privilegio de colaborar durante dos meses, donde por mi experiencia estuve cocinando cocina vegana. Aunque no era mi especialidad, se me confió el liderazgo del área con total libertad creativa, lo que me permitió aprender, adaptarme e innovar cada día.

La convivencia con el equipo fue maravillosa, llena de momentos inolvidables como nuestras sesiones de mojito yoga. Alaya me recordó que con esfuerzo y voluntad se pueden lograr muchas cosas, y que nunca dejamos de aprender en la vida.

Recomiendo esta experiencia al 100% por su humanidad, su apertura y la riqueza personal.

The experience at Alaya was good. I learned a lot about the ins/outs of a Retreat center. There was a lot of space to grow as a Yoga teacher.

The current team that was present was very comfortable, it gave a real sense of community. Helping each other and having a lot of joy while doing so. The owner is a sweet woman who is warm and flexible. There are plenty of pets you can cuddle :). The location is very beautiful. Maybe a bit difficult to reach with public transport but that also gives it an off grid experience.

The food is tasty and mostly quite healthy. The cooks pepare it well.

Bella experiencia rodeado de naturaleza. El centro es muy bonito y el yoga shala tiene muy bonita energía. Siento que la comunicación podría mejorar. En general recomiendo esta experiencia a los yoga teachers que quieran mejorar sus habilidades.

Cal Pau Cruset is a farmhouse in the middle of a beautiful landscape surrounded by vines and fruit trees where the tranquility is fascinating. As a volunteer I was able to share my yoga classes in English and Spanish with guests arriving from different parts of the world, in addition to helping with daily tasks at the place. The accommodation for me was good and the food was really delicious. It was a pleasure to share with Ellen and everybody who work and live there. I really loved to spent time with Ginebra y Olly, Shiva, Guapo Isha, Vishnu y Laksmi,and all cats .
Gracias a todos !!!

Lamentablemente no fue como lo esperaba, sugiero al anfitrión mejorar su comunicación y compromiso con respecto a lo pactado previamente.

We always communicate very clearly that drugs are not allowed on our premises. It is posted on our profile and we tell all volunteers on the day of arrival.
