Selfless Giving Is the Art of Living
Being in the Spirit of Karma Yoga in a Beautiful Spiritual Community in the Heart of France
The spirit of Karma Yoga is an opportunity for you to heed the call to deepen your practice of volunteer service. It allows you a full immersion into the Hridaya Community by practicing yoga and meditation with us as well as helping us with our internal operations. In addition to volunteering, Karma Yogis play an integral part in holding a friendly space in the community according to the Hridaya Yoga Vision.
Volunteers help in the spirit of Karma Yoga, the yoga of selfless action. While practicing Karma Yoga, you detach from the fruits of your contribution. You see your help as an offering in service to others and to all of existence. If you’d like further information, you can read a blog post about Karma Yoga and life as a Karma Yogi at Longeval here.
Prerequisite
The practice of Hridaya Meditation and Hatha Yoga is the foundation of our community. As it’s most harmonious to experience the Hridaya teachings prior to committing to volunteer here, you must complete the Hridaya Yoga Retreat: Module 1 Intensive or a 10-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat before you apply. We offer these courses in Longeval as well as at our center in Mexico.
Note that we occasionally need Karma Yogis or staff members with specific technical skills. In such cases, we may waive this prerequisite.
If you meet the condition above, then we invite you to apply via the “General Application” button below.
