Volunteers / Interns Required for October November 2010 and for the season of 2011

Please enter your details below if you are interested in joining our volunteer program.

In its eighth year, Ibiza Yoga looks for volunteers for the next season that ends November 2011.

Volunteers will get , shared accommodation in a pagoda , teepee and breakfast and one vegetarian meal in exchange for volunteering 5 hrs per day Sunday to Friday and all day Saturday. The accommodation depends upon the time of the year and on availability. Generally in the summer it is a teepee or pagoda and in the winter a room. You need money to supplement your food. You need to travel to get to a shop, or to leave Benirras when not working, so you need additional money for either car hire , petrol, or taxis. The restaurants on the beach charge around £10 for a meal.

The volunteer hours generally are: a 5 hour shift in either the morning or the afternoon 7-12 or 2-7 . It is your choice to volunteer these hours but we offer no alternatives.

The cleaning volunteer program consists of general household chores, gardening, greeting guests plus some light lifting and carrying. Cleaning is a large part of the job.

There are other volunteers and cleaners at the retreat, therefore you will all work as a team.

The volunteer pays his / her own flight and transfers too and from Ibiza.

We do not obtain visas from embassies, so a volunteer will need a work permit or visa. We welcome and encourage people from all over the world.

The volunteer needs good communication skills and a general knowledge of English.

Our Volunteer programs lasts for a minimum of 6 weeks and can be extended depending circumstances. The only time we would consider a two week position is at the end or beginning of the season, which is March & April and November & December. In subsequent years some volunteers have gone on to paid work at the retreat.

Generally it is not possible to attend the morning yoga classes Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Friday as that is the time you are required to volunteer your time to the retreat.

Attendance of one afternoon class on the Sunday or Thursday are optional. Thus giving one three hour yoga class. Use of the yoga deck for self practice is fine. You take your space after the guests have positioned their mats .

There are more volunteering details available after you submit your details below for instance a description of a typical day.

Volunteers that would enjoy the scheme would typically be :

a previous guest who knows how we operate and enjoys the ambience at the retreats.
a professional/ established person who is financially self sufficient and is taking a sabatical from work or has a gap between jobs
people wanting to have a working holiday from their jobs – so they come to us for a period of time and then return to their jobs
a person who is humble and doesn't have an issue with carrying out mundain tasks, intellegent, a happy, helpful and spiritually minded or yogic minded person, a team player, a good communicator, flexible and accommodating
someone who wants to develop their yoga practise and isn't looking for financial reward or a job.
this is a working holiday and both of those words are equally important. In your contracted hours, you will be expected to volunteer and sometimes the program can be quite hard. However, it can be fun and it is in a good environment.
And you will have plenty of time to enjoy everything that this wonderful island and retreat have to offer.
