What even is yoga, you ask?

Well, it can mean different things to different people as they find and build their own personal practice. But, historically, the word "yoga" translated from Sanskrit means to yoke, bind, attach, concentrate one's attention and union. It is the union of the body, mind and spirit. A union of individuality with the divine intelligence. Union of the ego and the spirit. 

"The history of yoga encompasses some five thousand years. Its tap roots lie in archaic shamanism, and its long evolution is tied to the gradual unfolding of the plural cultures of India - notably Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism," writes Adriana Elmes in her yoga teacher training materials. It is the belief that humans have the answer buried deep within ourselves... a hidden divinity within our true Self.

It is a balance of observing duality and finding wholeness, feeling safe and rooted in where we are at right now. A chance to think about the veil of perception we place in front of our minds and invite a new perspective. Yogis understand that happiness is internal - not external.

What I love most about yoga is its ability to help me find a liberating, quiet mind in this world of constant noise, chaos and distraction. The re-aligning asanas (poses) allow for physical awareness, leading to a spiritual opening up to the divine within ourselves. It's a channel opener that helps me feel centered and grounded physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually.

If you can breathe, you can do yoga.

What Is Karma Yoga?

Karma (selfless action) yoga is a practice of service to others. It was first communicated by this name over 2,000 years ago in the Bhagavad Gita. In this practice, we seek to bring awareness to our actions, both the quality and the motivation of those actions. We invite ourselves to act with more clarity, mindfulness and completeness as our actions are the manifestation of our inner reality. Unlike hatha yoga (the physical exercise and poses), karma yoga extends off the mat and brings love into this world while removing sufferings of others.

We hold fundraiser yoga practices throughout the year to donate funds to local non-profits.

"Every act of love brings happiness; there is no act of love which does not bring peace and blessedness as its reaction.”
