I had a lovely time teaching at the hotel! All in exchange for teaching two classes per day mostly every other day. Three vegan meals a day, (might need protein supplements if staying for a while as there wasn't a lot in the meals provided but things were changing by the end of my stay), friendly staff, a private room surrounded by nature and a feeling of giving back and building community. If you get the opportunity to teach here you are truly lucky! I will forever be grateful for this experience. So much love for Ishara, Bernardo, Matthew and many more for this memorable time!

I spent an amazing month teaching Yoga in the hotel. The place is incredible, not turistic but you still have a chance to connect with all coming guests. It is souranded by nature,jungle and local villages where I had a chance to meet beautiful people and feel like a part of the community. The schedule was very convenient and I had plenty of time for myself between the classes. Most of the people from the stuff are the locals who are incredible human beings always willing talk and share the moments. I will never forget this morning breaks having all together cup of tea. Thank you.

Dream volunteering experience. The staff, the food and the place are amazing. I stayed for one month in a private comfortable room in exchange of one yoga and meditation class per day. The surrounding is peaceful, with a lot of nature and there is a bike that you can use to explore. You can also use the pool and have access to a wonderful library. Hard is to leave the place. Many thanks to this beautiful and inspiring project 💚

My experience at the hotel was fantastic! The room was private, comfortable, and clean. The food was good, although a bit too spicy for my taste, but of high quality. The staff was kind, helpful, and extremely polite. The schedule was a bit different from what was advertised, but it was super flexible and light, with 1 or 2 classes per day, every day, without any days off. The guests were very interested and engaged in yoga practices, ranging from beginners to intermediate levels. The hotel is beautiful, surrounded by nature and tranquility. Thank you so much for the opportunity, guys!
