Y1 Volunteer Yogi Program

Yoga One staff and teachers share a deep commitment to the process of transformation. We commit to making each other good, students good, our community, and everyone we come in contact with good.

We also believe that taking yoga off your mat is an integral part of the practice. If you would like to be a part of the yoga one community AND explore Karma Yoga: yoga of action, then we have just the program for you. Apply now to become a Y1 volunteer!

TRAINING

Before helping our guests alone, you are provided with full training. At the end of the training, you are certified by our trainer as ready to serve. Trainings will take place one Saturday of the month. You will then shadow your trainer for two shifts before being approved to serve. Throughout your time as a Y1 volunteer, you will have one on one check-ins with the Volunteer Coordinator or other staff to provide clarity on any issues that may be arising during your shifts and as a way for volunteers to feel supported by y1 staff.
