Would you like to become a Park Yoga Volunteer?

Park Yoga is a charity whose mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of the public by providing free yoga sessions in nature. The sessions are open for all to attend, regardless of experience, age or gender.

Park Yoga works in partnership with Venue Host Organisations, (usually local Councils or Active Partnership) and Yoga Instructors to deliver the sessions which take place every Sunday morning from the beginning of May to mid-September. Our volunteers support these sessions to enable us to create an amazing experience for our participants.

Key tasks our volunteers support with:

  • Meet & greet our lovely participants, especially first timers
  • Help our Yoga Instructors set up equipment
  • Take photos and videos during the sessions
  • Collect donations using mobile phone app
  • Help with sponsor sampling
  • Distribute posters locally to advertise Park Yoga
  • Engage with local community groups in person and through social media to introduce and promote Park Yoga
  • Attend events during off season to represent Park Yoga
  • Identify potential local sponsors to support your Park Yoga venue
  • Apply for small grants to support Yoga Instructor costs
  • Engage with a local cafĂ© and host a monthly Park Yoga community meet up

Useful information:

  • Volunteers must be over the age of 18
  • Volunteer timings on a Sunday morning: from 9am to 11am (maximum)
  • We do not expect volunteers to do every session, unless, of course, you would like to. Ideally you’d support at least 5 sessions during the season.
  • You can still do the Park Yoga session while volunteering.
  • We hope to have at least 2 volunteers at each venue
  • Every volunteer will be asked to wear a hi-vis vest so our participants can identify you as a person who can help.

Virtual drop-in sessions will be provided ahead of you starting (maximum 1 hour) and will provide an overview of the charity, safeguarding & incident reporting information and a reminder of the key tasks.
