Join Our Residential Team

Current Opportunities

While all residential roles are currently filled for 2026, we welcome expressions of interest for future openings in the following areas:

• Admin Support: Managing the heart of ashram operations, including guest inquiries, course bookings, shop inventory, and general office coordination.

• Housekeeper: Curating a clean, tranquil environment for practice. This physically active role involves managing laundry, room preparation, and guiding others in mindful cleaning (seva).

• Caretaker: Overseeing the health of our buildings and grounds. Responsibilities include routine maintenance, biomass boiler upkeep, safety checks, and coordinating with external tradespeople.

• Cook: Nourishing the community by preparing sattvic meals for up to 35 people. This role includes kitchen management, maintaining hygiene standards, and guiding kitchen karma yogis.

• Gardener: Tending to our grounds, woodland project, and three large polytunnels. This role focuses on sustainable food production and the mindful upkeep of our natural sanctuary.

General Expectations

Residents also assist with welcoming guests, hosting the library, and supporting other departments as needed. Please note that ashram life is physically demanding and requires a good level of fitness, a positive outlook, and a dedicated work ethic. Relevant experience is highly valued.

Living and Wellness

• Stipend: A monthly stipend of £665, paid in arrears.

Who We Are Looking For

This is a unique opportunity for those seeking to integrate their spiritual values with their daily actions. While a regular yoga or meditation practice is ideal, it is not a requirement—what matters most is a sincere interest in the path of awareness.

To thrive in this environment, you should be:

• Consciously Mindful: Committed to living harmoniously within a diverse community. This includes maintaining an environment free from alcohol and non-prescription drugs, and showing genuine empathy for our course participants.

• Proactive & Reliable: Capable of working responsibly, whether completing tasks independently or collaborating as part of a team.

• Adaptable: Willing to take initiative and remain flexible with your hours and responsibilities to meet the flowing needs of the ashram and our course schedule.
