Yoga Association of Greater Detroit would like to encourage all our teachers and friends to donate to the charity use the button above. We checked Charity Navigator and Direct Relief has a four-star rating. Direct Relief also has an obvious link for Ukraine so the donations go where you want them to go. I’m sure there are many charities out there.
Please donate what you can. As a yoga teacherm you could also donate your time to teach karma classes with all funds collected going directly to the charity, or encourage your students to donate directly. We can make a difference.
With much gratitude for Karen Lutz for this great idea.

Member Usha Shah gave us information about Acidity/GERD, its symptoms, and why it happens. She talked about ways to address these issues with yoga, mudra’s, and acupressure points. Really a excellent presentation. Usha recorded the session and posted the link to it on her FB page at shashaholisticwellness. Here is the link to that lecture: https://fb.watch/b3ZLYidmy0/
The Studio Located at 309 S Troy St. Royal Oak,MI.48067 and committed to providing Yoga that is all-inclusive.
Namaste has been the heart of Royal Oak for over 20 years. You do not have to be thin or flexible to practice. The poses meet you where you are, no matter where you are. You are your own guru, meaning you adapt the poses to your body. You don’t struggle to meet them; they rise to meet you. You affect a balance of comfort and strength, steadiness and ease. It doesn’t matter who you are, how you’re shaped, or your level of fitness. Yoga is an individualized practice, that you will tailor perfectly to fit you. As you change, yoga will continue to meet you where you are. https://namaste-yoga.net
