Breathe Yoga Studio launches Karma Yogi program

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Sue Whitmarsh for the information in this story.)

Breathe Yoga Studio strongly believes that its practice should include the yoga of service – karma yoga – and have made a commitment to open up the studio to raise funds and visibility for a variety of deserving and, where possible, local non-profits, charities and causes.

The owners will launch another arm of their program – KARMA YOGIS – that aims to engage their students and instructors in useful service to support two chosen and very deserving causes, Faith in Action and The United Methodist Retirement Community.

Breathe Yoga will hold an informational meeting at the studio, 104 East Middle St. on Saturday, Feb. 10 from 2-3 p.m. The meeting will be attended by members of both Faith in Action and UMRC, who will each outline their needs, and their volunteer requirements.

Students will be able to sign up to be on a list of those willing to serve the community as volunteers, when and where needed by our community partners. Many of our students volunteer individually for local causes, but the business would like to try to provide a steady flow of support if possible to non-profits and groups in need.

The business seeks to raise funds through a variety of means, holding free community, donation-based classes, yoga malas, collecting items for organizations, such as faith In Action and the Safe House of Ann Arbor, participating in local events, and donating time and teaching skills, and through mat rental fees.
