Feedback from our 2025 intern
“Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Park Yoga for trusting me to be their very first intern. I’ve learned so much over the past 14 weeks about the charity sector, short form video creation, analysing engagement statistics, and writing informative and engaging communications. It’s been a pleasure to learn from the Park Yoga team and work alongside them to bring free yoga to 50+ parks across the UK and see the positive impact it has had on our participants. 💚” Erin.
