If you answered yes, Team Kind Karma® Yoga is thrilled to invite you to the mat and share our love for yoga! 💚

What Kind Karma® Yoga is About

𑁍 A holistic approach to yoga that embraces the physical aspects of the practice, while also promoting a journey of self-discovery, personal transformation, and alignment with the Spirit.

𑁍 A form of yoga that blends somatic-based poses, pranayama, and meditation techniques. Many of these somatic practices focus on heart-centered approaches aimed at cultivating a state of mind and a way of being that is aligned with the energy of our heart.

𑁍 An inclusive yoga practice that incorporates Rahini Yoga® Healing Kriyas to clear, align, and strengthen the subtle energy body, especially for humanity’s awakening and higher vibration. 

𑁍 A practice that recognizes sound therapy and Sound Current are integral parts for a holistic approach to yoga, because both of these are powerful tools for promoting wellness and enhancing the benefits of a yoga practice.

If your goal is to teach yoga, you can rest assured that Kind Karma® Yoga will professionally prepare you as our yoga school has been registered with Yoga Alliance since 2001, has four registered yoga schools, and has taught students from all over the world. Furthermore, our yoga training curriculum has been time-tested, as we have certified students in yoga and meditation for over 22 years! If your desire is not to teach, but to deepen your own personal yoga practice then this training would greatly interest you because, unlike many other current yoga programs, Kind Karma® Yoga has bona fide ties with authentic lineages going back hundreds of years, supporting the effectiveness of many of its methods. 

We are looking forward to hearing from you, and spending some time sharing and practicing Kind Karma® Yoga!

With peace, compassion & kindness,

❤️ Dean, Naomi, Heidi
