Work study at meditation and yoga retreat center in Colorado
Program details
About the work study program
Immerse yourself in the yogic lifestyle and dive deeply into your spiritual practice during this 3- or 5-month Work Study program. Participants live, work, and play alongside devoted yogic practitioners in an ashram setting. You will gain a strong foundation in meditation through the discipline and structure of the ashram schedule, invaluable tools for bringing meditation into your everyday life, and a sense of shared purpose in support of community.
Three-month Summer Work Study: June-August (arrive May 30, depart September 1). Work full time, 6 days per week.
Five-month Full Season Work Study: May-September (arrive April 30, depart October 1). Work full time, 6 days per week.
Throughout the day, ashram residents participate in different seva projects designed to maintain the ashram facility and offer a welcoming and nourishing environment for our guests.
During work time, residents are encouraged to practice japa, or mantra repetition, to develop a conscious awareness and presence of mind.
Seva projects include:
- dishwashing
- cleaning
- gardening
- chopping wood
- grounds maintenance
- or construction.
Volunteers are exposed to the myriad teachings of ShambhavAnanda Yoga through meditation and yoga classes, satsung (questions and answers with a senior teacher of the tradition), and a weekly Work Study class.
Accommodations are dorm-style. In your off-time, explore the mountain town of Nederland. Hike the majestic Rockies in nearby James Peak or Indian Peaks Wilderness. Or stay on property, enjoying the amenities of the ashram.
