KARUNA CENTER for YOGA & HEALING ARTS
Karuna means compassion, tenderness, and devoted action to alleviate suffering.
May I dwell in an open heart. May I attend to whatever clouds my heart. May I be awake in this moment just as it is. May this awakened heart extend to all beings.

Yoga
BKS Iyengar described Yoga as “the quest of the soul for the spark of divinity within us.” It is a life-long discipline of continual practice with effort coupled with surrender and detachment (Yoga Sutra 1:12). It is based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga as expounded by Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras.
Yoga has the potential to change your life through the practice of asana, pranayama, meditation and the study of its philosophy. My yoga teaching has a strong focus on alignment, with an emphasis on detail, precision. and integration of the philosophy into our practice and our lives. We hold postures to develop strength, stability, and awareness; and we use movement to release stagnant energy and to increase energy and flexibility.
