How would you like to help?
Our work relies on the support of our generous donors and amazing volunteers. There are many ways to support Yoga Outreach in what we do.
Teach
Do you love Yoga and believe it has the power to change lives?
Do you feel a call to serve adults and youth facing multiple challenges in their lives?
At Yoga Outreach we believe that Yoga can change the world.
Our mission is to identify, develop and deliver healing and life affirming yoga programs to people who can not directly access these resources. We partner with volunteer teachers and facilities and organizations to provide free yoga.
We are always recruiting experienced yoga and meditation teachers to volunteer for both one time and ongoing classes. In general we ask teachers to have a minimum of 2 years or 200 hours of teaching experience because the programs we offer are not an average yoga class. Teachers with less than 2 years or 200 hours experience are encouraged to apply and will be evaluated on a case by case basis based on personal experience and/or professional training in related fields. We cannot guarantee placement of less experienced teachers, should they be accepted into our program, immediately as it may take time to find suitable mentorship and/or program placement. We require that our teachers have completed a minimum 200 hour recognized teacher training certification or qualify for “grandparented” RYT status by Yoga Alliance, and that they have completed Yoga Outreach Core Training, held in Vancouver twice/year.
Please contact our Coordinator, Sarah Holmes de Castro for more information or to apply.
