My experience at The Yard was nothing but amazing 💕!! Thank you to all the staff who were truly and genuinely supportive.
My schedule was amazing and I had plenty of time to explore the awesome city of Bangkok.
I really recommend this volunteer if you want to improve your yoga teaching skills, explore the city and make new friends.

The Yard feels like a place where people flow in and out, each leaving a mark. I say this because I was genuinely saddened after meeting so many different people I felt a deep connection with. That’s what makes The Yard special—you can shape your experience here however you like. Spend time connecting with others, join the smoker’s club, sit in the middle of the yard during a heavy rain, or take a quiet moment alone to focus and decompress. The choice is always yours in this community. During my stay, the team was excellent—no complaints at all.

The time I spend in the Yard has been life changing for me. I truly feel blessed by the opportunity to share and improve my yoga teaching skills surrounded with a team this kind. Chiang Mai is beautiful and the location is unbeatable with plenty of time to explore and dwell in the local culture with the kind recommendations of the staff.
Being here has been a true lesson on generosity for me.

The Yard is really like a family. Everyone was smiling and happy to help. I loved teaching the yoga classes and seeing the people relaxed and smiling at the end of the class. I feel like this experience was a gain for all of us. I have grown and improved and also gave something back. I hope to come back here some other time! :)
