Imagine spending your summer teaching in a jungle community space five minutes from the beach in southern Sri Lanka. That's what Arise is offering, and if you've been waiting for the right moment to take your teaching somewhere new, this might be it.

Arise sits in the heart of the Hiriketiya jungle, overlooking a village temple, surrounded by palm trees and the sound of the ocean nearby. It's not a polished corporate retreat. It's a real, rooted community space that hosts daily yoga classes, workshops, full moon circles, ecstatic dance, Muay Thai, meditation, and whatever else fits with their vision. They also run free classes for locals and get involved with community projects in the area.

They're looking for teachers to join them from May through September 2026. Yoga teachers are the obvious fit, but Arise is clear that they welcome anyone with something to offer. If you teach arts, music, poetry, breathwork, movement, or any other kind of workshop that aligns with their ethos, they want to hear from you.

Applications are open now via the link below. A heads up: they get a high volume of applications and can only respond to those who are selected to move forward, so put your best foot forward in the form. If you're picked, you'll be joining a small, tight-knit team in one of Sri Lanka's most loved surf and wellness towns.
