Karma Yoga

Karma yoga = giving.

When you fully commit to a yoga asana (posture) and meditation practice, you become aware that there’s more to yoga than the physical practice.  Below is are a few of the organizations I will be contributing to in 2010.  “Give” as much as you “Receive” from your yoga practice.  Namaste.

Doctors without Borders – Become a field partner by donating monthly.  Just $15 per month provides a month supply of water for 40 refugees

Soles4Souls – A donation of just $10 can help provide shoes for 5 people in need.  Can you imagine not owning one pair of shoes?

Kiva.org – The world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs around the globe

WomenForWomen.org – Through a small monthly donation, you can empower a woman survivor of war

Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World – Not an organization to give to but a great book to get you started with a giving plan.  It’s filled with ideas and resources if you’re baffled on how and why to give.  The point is we all can give something -skills, time, money, ideas, support
