Similar to Part 2 Residential
The world needs more good yoga. We strongly believe the work we do is some of THE MOST valuable, important work on the planet. We are changing lives. And, we are changing the world. Impacting the communities we operate in is very close to our heart. Every YTT we offer a scholarship place to someone we believe will take the TTC and make a difference to the lives of others with it. Sometimes this is a local community member, other times we offer the certification to a person working with trauma or in a refugee camp who would not have been able to afford it.
We also strongly invest in the community we are creating long after the final goodbye. Whether it’s assisting with retreat planning and marketing, advising with ongoing studies, helping organize service projects in prisons or linking our Fellows around the globe our community are essential for our happiness.
In March 2020 we launched K.Glo our online zoom sanctuary where Karuna teachers around the world can remain connected and share their practice with others.
In March 2021 we opened Karuna Wellness Studio, Kampala, Uganda a place for connection and healing. Opportunities to pop in for yoga, TRX, dance, pilates, therapy, body work or a cup of coffee.
“In separateness lies the world’s great misery, in compassion lies the world’s true strength.” – Buddha.
