Volunteering at this yoga retreat center was truly special. The atmosphere is peaceful and inspiring, surrounded by nature and filled with kind-hearted people.I had the chance to grow both personally and spiritually, while also contributing to a meaningful cause. The daily yoga sessions, delicious healthy meals, and the deep conversations created a beautiful balance between work and self-discovery. I'm incredibly grateful for the time I spent here, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a mindful and rewarding volunteer opportunity. Thank you!! 🫶🏻✨

I had such a meaningful experience at the Center. The place was beautifully located in the blue mountains and I spent my days hiking, doing yoga, doing simple kitchen and housekeeping work, swimming in the pool, being in the sun, eating delicious vegan food and hanging out with the coolest people. The experience helped me slow down and reconnect with myself. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in this type of lifestyle - it had me wanting to stay and I'm sure I'll come back at some point. Much love x E

I stayed for 2 weeks and had a great time. ACCOMM– I stayed in a private cabin (not for me) and in the volunteer house (shared room). Huge room, comfy bed & lots of dressers/storage. FOOD– Amazing. Maybe bring a container to set aside your own portion of leftovers. WORK– Kitchen shifts are super chill, but housekeeping was very physical! This could be improved with a housekeeping cart, or assigning more volunteers to this task (it's normally a team of 2, sometimes 3). VIBE– It definitely feels like a big family 💛 Give it an hour and you'll already be a part of it. APPLYYYY!!🌟✨🌻

I had a great time at the Center. The team was full of good vibes and made me feel at home when I was volunteering with them. The work was extremely reasonable and I enjoyed the time in the kitchen cutting fruits and vegetables. If you get the opportunity to work with this fantastic group of people, I highly recommend it.
