What is a Karma Yoga Volunteer?
In the Indian yoga tradition, Karma yoga is recognised as the practice of purifying the heart by putting the needs of others ahead of your own. Your time is one of the most precious gifts you have to offer. As a volunteer, you discover the simple joy of giving, while living a lifestyle that can best be described as paradise: on the beach, teaching, sharing, and living yoga.
In the role of a Karma Yogi you are making a self-less service and helping others becomes your primary focus. Whether that is helping someone in their yoga practice, their spiritual journey, or in their time at the shala, you become part of the team that makes people’s time at Kranti Yoga so memorable.
In a world that is so pre-occupied with “who I am” and “what is mine,” discovering the simple joy of giving, loving, and sharing can be a truly rewarding experience. And, it won’t cost you a penny to do so – we provide you with bed and board in exchange for your time and energy.
Our Karma Yoga program offers the opportunity to further their yoga studies through a mentorship program within the Yoga Village and you explore the opportunity to travel, to teach, to meet new people, to learn new skills, and to explore a new, altruistic way of life.
Are you passionate about yoga and looking to be part of a vibrant and supportive community?

Participation Rules
We want everyone to have a positive experience, so the school management may ask a volunteer to leave if:
They are causing conflicts or disrupting the harmony of the community.
They are not fully committed to the program or not actively participating.
They are not being helpful to the students or the school.
This is an intensive program meant for those who are genuinely committed to the Volunteering program. If you're looking for a free holiday by the beach under the name of volunteering, this might not be the right program for you.
We look forward to welcoming enthusiastic and dedicated people who are ready to fully engage in this unique experience.

We give people space to be, without judgment. We accept people as they are, wherever they are. We take the same approach with all our daily tasks – openly, and fully present in every project we take on.
Generosity & kindness
We are generous with our time and energy, choosing to share what we have instead of holding back. We understand the nature of giving and putting the needs of others before our own. We extend the hand of kindness and compassion in our actions.
Have fun and spread positive vibrations
We aim to spread positivity and joy as much as possible; to have as much fun in the connections we make as with the work we do. There is plenty of time for silence and stillness here, but there’s also time for creativity, dance, art, and music
Uniquely You
Everyone is different and everyone has something unique to offer. We embrace and celebrate each other’s differences and provide a platform for you to express who you really are – supported by a group of like-minded and encouraging individuals.
