Summer Karma Yoga Position Available
Karma Yoga is the yoga of action. It's an opportunity to explore work as a spiritual practice, and practice selfless service. Through Karma Yoga you will learn about yourself and about the Divine, in very practical, hands-on ways.
You will also gain skills, confidence, and self-esteem.
You will learn Who you are, discover skills and learn to work with weaknesses. It is a spiritual journey that can change your life... if you are willing.
