The experience

In the summer (July to end of Sep), we have guests for yoga retreats or just for holidays. When guests move out of an apartment, we clean and prepare beds.

In low season (Sep to end of June), we don’t run yoga retreats but use the time for deep cleaning and maintenance.

Any time, we do whatever is necessary, we wash curtains, windows and yoga props, clean storage rooms or paint furniture.

Sometimes, it is possible to bring a partner/friend.

Program Details

We especially welcome volunteers who are curious about yoga or a yogic lifestyle. Begin your day with a morning yoga routine - it´s optional (you’ll have access to our online resources), get inspired to cook healthy meals, and practice mindfulness in your interactions—with others and with the environment.

Our intention is to work together joyfully and create something beautiful and meaningful, so that everyone involved feels a sense of purpose and pride in what we build together.

You might share the bedroom with 1-2 more people.


Activities & Shift

Schedule from July to end of September: I will let you know your free days upon arrival. Every week is different, as we need to adapt to arrivals and departures. We will dedicate big part of the time to cleaning the apartments after departures.

Schedule from October to end of June: From Monday to Thursday, we usually meet around 9.30 in the morning and organize the tasks of the day. Working hours are flexible, depending on what makes sense and if we need to coordinate tasks between us.

Examples of tasks in any season are:
- Cleaning of windows
- General cleaning of kitchen/house/staircase/storage-rooms/bedrooms
- Washing curtains, yoga props, bed covers and pillows
- Helping in the kitchen
- Helping in the garden (watering flowers, cleaning the pool, swiping terraces...)
- Painting furniture

All year round, in your free time, you can enjoy nature or cities nearby. The beach is in walking distance. In the summer, the town is alive with tourists. The winters are very quiet in town but there is an international community in the area that organizes a lot of group activities on a regular basis.
