1.) To teach yoga to under-served populations
2.) To help new teachers gain teaching experience by providing free classes to nonprofit employees and their constituents
Nearly one year later, the second piece of that mission has come into focus with the program Karmi’s Angels – a yogic take-off on Charlie’s Angels. (I guess that makes me Charlie!) Introducing Suzanne Fletcher, a graduate of the YogaWorks TT 200-hour program and a Second degree Black belt in Shorin Ryu Karate with 10 years of Martial Arts teaching experience. Beginning Thursday evening May 5th, Suzanne will offer a free class at the New York Public Library, Muhlenberg Branch at 209 West 23rd Street. Read more about Suzanne here.
4 other yoga teachers who have contacted me expressing interest in becoming one of Karmi’s Angels, and I’m currently working on matching them up with interested nonprofits. If you are a yoga teacher who is interested in being involved or work with a nonprofit who you think would be interested in offering free yoga, please email me at compassyoga@gmail.com.
