We volunteered in a yoga retreat for 1 month and this is why. Kelsey’s a yoga teacher and wanted to build her experience. She found an exchange online with a retreat in Sri Lanka. The deal was Kelsey teaches yoga and I help with social media and business growth in exchange for free stay, food and activities. Pretty standard volunteer set-up.
Whilst we were there, I thought why not show you what volunteering is like. It’s not a hostel, but the system’s exactly the same. Even the responsibilities and tasks are similar. So here’s how it went.
Let’s start with a tour of the grounds because it’s a beautiful place. Here’s the estate itself where we spend most of our time and where the kitchen, living, dining and our room is. Then you have this veranda bit where everyone gets together to eat and chill.
There’s a pool area 3 yoga shalas and an art room. This area’s my favourite because of the views.
