For teachers/teacher trainee(s), European-Yoga yearly organises a volunteer project that will bring substantial benefit to the community and people there, as well as a memorable teaching experience.
We organise yoga classes to benefit people with a different cultural background, share skills and work with them.

Besides being European-Yogas contribution to other peoples lives, our volunteer projects are also challenging projects for learning and experience. Often, your project becomes an experience for Life!
We will help to plan the trip, organise accomodation and schedule the classes and the theme of the project.
You will live in the local community, and if possible become part of a household. Apart from teaching and eventually other tasks, which are determined in advance, the trip is also a cultural and touristic experience with exciting landscapes and people to discover.

INTENSIVE ASHTANGA VINYASA WORKSHOP, 2 WEEKS (30 HOURS)
Teaching Zimbabwan dancestudents under the high winter sun, on a warm and dry grasslane or on the dancefloor inside the dancecentre. Mainly aimed at the12 students aged ca. 20-25, from the Dance Foundation Course (giving a 3 year foundation in Dance). Also open for other participants somehow related/external to DFC and Dance Trust of Zimbabwe, some familiar with, some new to yoga.
The coordinator, Mrs Soukaina, herself a danceteacher at DFC, also participated in the workshop. Afterwards, she wrote this letter on her own initiative, and states that European-Yoga is from now considered affiliated teacher for DFC, Harare, Zimbabwe.
At the end, the students had been asked to write a comment on their experience of the workshop.
Some assumed it would be part of their evaluation, others wrote much more personal comments.
Several expressed that they wish to have a second yogaworkshop, in their next year, so they learn more that can benefit their dancepractice. We sure hope to return!
I wish I can help them in their work
to realise their dreams!

REGULAR YOGACLASSES FOR CHILDREN, 3 MONTHS
Teaching children on well-used floorcarpets, carrying hidden thunderclouds
of dust from thousands of socky feet taken out of sandy shoes and from open windows letting in some dust carried by the winds, inside the 'yogahall' (also serving many other purposes) of a non-governmental (donor-based) school.
a quite poor area in the foothills of the Himalayas, and at the time of my visit provided education to 140 children age 10-18, supported by a good number of teachers and staff.
The children ranged from wildly enthousiastic and energetic 10 year olds, to sincere or reluctant, and sometimes tired teenagers, burdened from heavy education with high pressure to do well.
