Karma Yoga is a spiritual community which needs a healthy business to thrive. Spirituality can be viewed as the space between stimulus and response; it is in this space that we practice. Spiritual communities require healthy finances, and clear communication around energy exchange. We aim to support our students from all backgrounds through yoga practice.
