Working and living at Mountainyoga
Mountainyoga is a non-profit oriented organization dedicated to the development of yoga
in China with a holistic approach. With 2 retreat centres in Fragrant Hills, 1 retreat centre
in a 500 year-old Buddhist Temple, and 1 yoga camp by the Great Wall, we are the only dedicated yoga retreat organization in China. All of our centres rest in the natural beauties
of the mountains near Beijing. Volunteers will have a chance to teach or work in different settings including the rare chance to teach yoga in an ancient Buddhist temple.
Mountainyoga bears heavy debts, and always faces financial difficulties. Mountainyoga does not aim for profit, but wishes to survive and develope, to benefit more people. Teaching at Mountainyoga is volunteer based though you get free accommodation and food. Mountainyoga
offers opportunities to qualified yoga teachers all around the world to stay and teach for short or long terms, to host workshops or lectures to share their knowledge of yoga.
Yoga Workshops
Workshops are open to International teachers.
You are welcome to host workshops on yoga or relevant subjects at Mountainyoga's centres.
Art Workshops
Yogi artists are invited to host art workshops, exibitions, and any yoga-spiritual-art related programs.
Please contact us for details.
Short or Long term teaching
International yoga teachers are welcome to teach at Mountainyoga for a short period of 2-8 weeks or longer period. Teaching will not be paid but in return these teachers get accommodation and vegetarian food in Mountainyoga. It is the best way for a yoga teacher travels and experience Beijing in a yogic way. Long-term teachers may be arranged with a sponsored teaching tour to another Chinese city. Language exchange classes willalso be arranged. If you are interested in exploring deep into the rich Chinese culture this is the best opportunity.
Other volunteer opportunities
There are limited spaces for budget traveling sanyasins, yogis or vegetarians to work at Montainyoga as volunteers in exchange for accomondation, food, and yoga activities. They need to pay a nominal fee to cover some basic costs, and they should work to help with cleaning, assist in teaching, organizing or work on other assignments.
* Only non-alcoholic and non-smoker volunteers will be considered.
