Although Shakti Yoga is a “business” by technical terms running a yoga studio is not the most profitable endeavor. Think about how much you pay for a class and the expenses that are involved with running a studio. Money that comes into the studio provides funding for utilities, rent, teacher pay, insurance and some supplies. We are constantly looking for ways to expand and grow the studio and often times the funding simply does not exist. The directors of the studio work endless hours in Karma Yoga. Shakti Yoga is a community and within the community it takes many hands to create a home.

Karma yoga, or the “discipline of action” is based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Sanskrit scripture of Hinduism. One of the four pillars of yoga, Karma yoga focuses on the adherence to duty (dharma) while remaining detached from the reward. It states that one can attain Moksha (liberation) or love of the divine (bhakti) by performing their duties in an unselfish manner for the pleasure of the Supreme. Karma Yoga is an intrinsic part of many derivative types of yoga.

At Shakti Yoga, the primary goal is to attain peace and healing within the community. We are guided by the spiritual discipline of Yoga as inspired by several paths and teachers. We provide a supportive environment for all who share these aspirations. We accept those who share the common goal of peace and who want to offer their skills, time and experience to support the work of the center, which is based on the ideal of karma yoga or selfless service.
