Specialty Classes: Karma Classes: (See schedule for times) All classes are by donation. Karma yoga is the path of unselfish action performed for the benefit of all. It's the philosophy to act according to our purpose, without being attached to the consequences of our actions. In the Bhagavad Gita, the philosophy behind the practice of karma yoga is to purify the mind. It leads us to consider our individual purpose during our brief time on this planet in the great cosmic ocean. This is our way to give back to our community by making exploration of the self accessible and welcoming to all. "Your work is your responsibility, not its result. Never let the fruits of your actions be your motive. Nor give in to inaction. Set firmly in yourself, do your work, not attached to anything. Remain evenminded in success, and in failure. Evenmindedness is true yoga." —Bhagavad Gita, 2.47-49 Yin Yoga with Jenna Tapp: Mondays 8:30pm Yin class usually consists of a series of passive floor poses held for up to 5 minutes or more. This practice is passive and slow. It allows the body to relax as well as the mind. When the body is still, the mind can start to wander; this is where the real practice begins. Yin yoga allows us to be with our thoughts, but not to engage in them. To be witness to what bubbles up when we are still. Please come and join me on the mat to observe the physical sensations, where the breath is your teacher.
