“Do Yoga and Do Good” Karma Yoga Class
Mondays 7:30-8:30am, June 4 - August 27
Gentle Intentional Yoga for all levels with Beth Cleary
Breathe and awaken into the weeks of summer through the mindful repetitions and gentle "stays" of viniyoga postures. In forty minutes of active practice that will offer adaptations for all levels, we will yoke awareness to our physical capacities, with breath as our ever-present and truest teacher. In fifteen minutes of seated reflection, we will let intention surface through breath as our guide for the day, the week and all seasons beyond.
This is a drop-in donation class -- come when you can and pay as able.
Do yoga and do good!! - Your entire donation will go to the W-7th neighborhood St. Stanislaus youth group for grades 7-12. The group facilitates weekly meetings where youths of every faith and background get together and discuss issues and topics important to them in a safe environment.
