Wouldn’t you love to meet yourself where you are at in the present moment to cleanse your mind and body? In this class you will learn to let your body inform your pose rather than the pose inform your body. This is a mindful strengthening and cleansing class.
In Karma Yoga you mindfully keep your attention inside the four corners of your mat; you are gently encouraged not to compare yourself to those practicing around you. In this way you send yourself compassion and practice karma to the self. In this Karma Yoga class, you have a voice and a choice! Each class you pick up a wooden chip. You choose what side of the chip you have facing up to inform the instructor if you want a hands-on assist or not. This is just one of the many ways the instructor is aware of students’ sensitivities through empowerment.
