ImageTeachers as Volunteers  Apart from teaching Yoga classes in our full-time centres on a daily basis, qualified instructors also volunteer their time and skills to various needy or disadvantaged groups, conducting Yoga Exercises, Relaxation and Meditation with the aim of providing an equal opportunity for the enjoyment of optimum physical and mental health. These community classes are given at Homes for the Aged, in Correctional Service Facilities, in Drug & Rehabilitation Centres and also for Senior Citizen Groups, Wheelchair Bound Children and a variety of other individuals and special needs community groups.

Volunteers also Support and Manage the Operation of the Yoga Centres   Our volunteers contribute in every capacity from general maintenance & gardening, to administration, database entry, marketing, promotion, customer service, IT and graphic design.
