Volunteer Yoga Teacher Portugal

Keela Yoga Farm is a volunteer-based project that focuses on permaculture, sustainability and community living. Spending your time with us to connect with nature, 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, you will also have the support of our experienced resident yoga teacher when needed. Yoga teachers are on a full volunteer basis, it is a work exchange (no money is exchanged) however you need to provide your own accommodation (a tent) or you can rent accommodations from us (please see the volunteering pages for more information).
