Staying at the Center has been an incredible experience. At first, I was going to stay for only three weeks, but I might end up staying an extra month. The maintenance and gardening work is exactly what I talked with Sanjay before coming, and helping with housekeeping and in the kitchen are also great tasks where you can learn and share with the other volunteers. It's a very peaceful place where you can learn a lot during your stay. Even though it's a bit far from the city, it's totally possible to go there and back on your day off without any problem. Thanks for everything!

This place is truly a home away from home, the community atmosphere here is so special and welcoming, and I was so fortunate to meet such a wonderful group of volunteers to share this experience with. The food is also amazing and there's always opportunities to do yoga / learn other new skills eg aerial, slack line etc , I wish I could've stayed longer:(

I loved my time at swamis and am so grateful for this experience! The place is truly magical and healing and the food was also incredible! I was able to teach at swamis which was truly rewarding and loved getting to meet so many wonderful guests and fellow volunteers from around the world. Taking a steam and cold plunging in the pool or playing cards after dinner will always be some of my favourite memories from my time in Australia. The beds are also very comfortable and getting to participate in daily yoga classes, workshops and meditations is a huge perk! Thank you for everything!

Swamis is such an amazing place, it was truly a dream to be part of this magical community. A place where you can make some real friends for life. The work load is super manageable and you do it all as a team so it gives you heaps of personal time to relax and attended classes,workshops ect. The work doesn't feel like a lot especially when you're on a kitchen shift, cooking for the community is fun and super rewarding. highly recommend this place for anyone seeking community, structure or an emotional&physical reset.

Our time at the Center was pure bliss and I couldn't recommend it more for my fellow travellers! I've met some amazing and beautiful people who have taught me so much and made some real friends. The workload is light and super rewarding, and gives you loads of free time to attend classes, use the facilities or simply have guilt free you time. The food is amazing and fresh and the rooms are so ideally comfy and clean. I was a little nervous before arriving as I haven't done much yoga before, but it really didn't matter, everyone is so kind and welcoming and I learned so much! :)
