Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a yoga expert?
While you do need to have some previous experience in yoga and/or mindfulness, there’s no need to be an expert. This is an opportunity to hone your yoga teaching skills with adults and kids.
Will I also work on weekends?
The weekends are all yours! You can use your free time to explore the town and engage in fun activities or relax down at the beach. Keep in mind that any activities you participate in outside of the internship are not covered in the program fees, including trips, souvenirs and transportation.
What will my responsibilities be?
As a yoga intern you’ll be handling tasks in the preparation and execution of yoga classes for both adults and children. Since this organization is very community oriented you might be completing tasks that aren’t yoga related like assisting with communications, fundraising, and hands-on activities that are focused on community building and spreading awareness.
