Program Details
It's good to know that working here, often you have to have initiative in tasks, managing your own time, and being flexible in taking into consideration priorities and needs of the center. Even though many amazing retreats are held here, everyday work life probably doesn't feel like being on a retreat or in a yoga heaven :) A lot of the work has to do with assisting in "behind the scenes" stuff like house keeping and fixing.
Activities & Shift
Tasks include:
- Housekeeping (cleaning & laundry)
- Photography & social medias
- Marketing
