Karma Yoga

Karma is living, breathing, it's all around us. 

 

Karma is the idea that our actions create a full circle of cause and effect. It's about intention-practicing good deeds with others in mind and working to keep the circle loving, peaceful and kind.

 

Karma Yoga began as a desire to reach out and give back to those in our local community and beyond.

 

Karma Yoga is now a way for others to join in this. Since 2010 my mother and I have been teaching yoga classes once a month to raise money for both local and global non profit organziations. Karma Yoga is a place where you're able to help fund clean water projects, provide aid to refugees in Syria, help sexual assault and domestic violence survivors here in Ann Arbor... and also find space and time for a practice for yourself.

 

We believe in teaching a yoga class where you have room to make the practice your own. Every body is different and needs to be respected and listened to. We hope our class is a place where you're able to breath in strength and joy and breath out wisdom and peace and are able to walk out the door with you a deeper sense of balance and self acceptance than when you first walked in. What we practice on the mat-the dedication, patience, compassion and strength-we then carry with us through the rest of our day.

 

Karma Yoga is also about more than giving. It's contributing to non profit organizations that believe in helping restore people's dignity and in helping them help themselves whenever possible. It's about finding non profits that do their research, that believe in accountibility, transparency, in implementing change and following up on that change. Non profits that are passionate about what they do and believe in providing the highest quality of aid and services.

 

We welcome any and all donations and all kind souls to Karma Yoga and hope we will see you in class soon.

 

Namaste. And when I say Namaste I return to its purpose, its core intention. I bow to you. I bring my palms together, my hands to my heart chakra, the wellspring of compassion in all of us, and I honor that place. That place we all share and that has such great capacity for good, for selflessness, for simple, true kindness.

 

Peace,
