Keela Yoga Farm is a volunteer-based project focusing on permaculture, sustainability, reforestation and community living. Spend your time with us to connect with nature and people, learn about sustainable living, and help contribute to the project by teaching daily yoga asana classes and meditation.
We require a volunteer yoga teacher to assist us with the daily yoga class for our volunteers and course participants. Yoga teachers are on a complete volunteer basis. It is a work exchange (no money is exchanged). You will work 5 hours, 5 days per week. The tasks will be teaching yoga, helping us in the kitchen or cleaning. We will provide you with accommodation in a tent, tipi or caravan, 3 organic meals per day and you may join the yoga classes from another teacher.

Dates and projects
We have divided our 2024 year into date periods based on what we have happening on the farm. These date periods are the same for volunteers in other areas of the farm, and we would like all of you to start and finish on the same date so that you have a good induction together and experience as a group. However, we are also looking for someone to stay for multiple periods or even longer-term.
