KARUNA CIRCLE SANGHA
Mondays, 8PM PT on Zoom - FREE
Are you in need of loving kindness in your life? Do you know someone who is in need of loving kindness? Is there someone with whom you would like to reach a loving and kind place with, even though that may not be possible for whatever reason?
"Karunā" (pronounced: kuh-roo-nah) translates to "compassion" or "empathy" and is of significant importance in the path of yoga. Karunā is a universal virtue that transcends cultural and spiritual boundaries and emphasizes the importance of empathy, kindness, and altruism in building a more compassionate and harmonious world, where individuals support and care for one another in times of need. Yoga teaches that a compassionate heart, coupled with wisdom, is essential for the liberation of oneself and others from suffering.
We welcome you to attend if you would like to give or receive loving kindness for yourself, for others, or for our collective consciousness. Our FREE online Karunā Circle is on Monday evenings at 8pm PT on Zoom. All are welcome.

“I learned so much, and made more progress on opening my hips in this 75 minutes than I had in months of other yoga classes.”
“Fantastic class - different from most out there!”
“Community, rigor, intentionality. The Universal Yoga lineage brings its own feel to this studio, which I find pushes me mentally and physically. I have been a member for six years.”
