Self-sufficiency
Volunteering at Sadhana yoga retreat in Pokhara
Looking to reconnect with the Earth? Join us at Sadhana yoga retreat, where we live by the rhythms of nature.
Our project is a 100% chemical-free permaculture haven dedicated to soil health and soul health. If you’re looking for a quiet, meditative environment to learn gardening, seed saving and sustainable living, your hands belong in our soil. Trade a few hours of mindful work for fresh organic food, deep quiet and a community that cares for the planet as much as you do.
​
​
Sadhana Yoga Retreat currently offers two volunteer retreat packages tailored to travelers looking to save money while still having a transformative experience. In exchange for their time and energy, guests receive free or discounted accommodation, delicious vegetarian meals and access to our world-class yoga and meditation facilities. Guests will also have the opportunity to connect with other like-minded travelers and make a positive difference in the lives of the local community.
Guests in either of these programs are welcome to extend their stay subject to availability, needs of Sadhana Yoga Retreat and mutually agreed upon volunteer activities.
Options for volunteering
We typically offer two primary paths for volunteers, both requiring few hours of contribution per day:
Discounted-Price Retreat: You receive a 40% discount on any of the yoga retreat package in exchange for your work.
​
Dedicate half of your stay to your personal wellbeing through yoga and meditation classes, then channel that renewed energy into the second half of your journey by volunteering with our local projects.
​
Cost: 60% of yoga retreat package.
