Volunteering at The Yard Hostel in Chiang Mai has been one of the most beautiful and meaningful parts of my journey 🧡The space is magical—the peaceful garden, the cozy common areas, the attention to cleanliness and detail… but above all, the people are working there are the true heart of The Yard. Teaching yoga here was a gift to my soul. Every class flowed with gratitude, presence, and beautiful energy. If you’re looking for a meaningful, human, and transformative volunteer experience, The Yard is the place. ✨Khop khun ka, The Yard Family 🙏

I had the most amazing month at the Yard, teaching yoga 5 times a week. Big thank you to the Yard family, they all made me feel so welcome and were so sweet and kind, including being so understanding when i was sick. I will miss them all! The hostel itself is so calm and tranquil, i loved teaching out in the garden surrounded by nature. I would love to return one day!

I taught yoga here for 3 weeks, and had an incredible time. I already want to go back!! The Yard is run by the warmest, friendliest people, the atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxed. I led 1-hour beginners yoga classes in the mornings at 7am, and my time and days off were exactly as agreed. I think it's an incredibly fair work exchange, and everything is well organised. I gained really valuable experience and feedback as a teacher, and The Yard really began to feel like a home away from home! I truly hope to return in future. If you are considering applying, go for it! You won't regret it ☺️
