Workshop Announcement
Pranayama - Yogic Breathing
With Dominika
Friday, May 18th, 10am-12 pm
Cost: 200
Description: Throughout the workshop you'll learn how to control and gain PRANA (vital energy, found in all things having life). You'll be introduced to a variety of breathing techniques, focusing on the two main techniques practiced in the Sivananda tradition (anuloma viloma, kapalabhati). The workshop will end with a guided, deep relaxation, to allow your Prana to flow freely try to come with an empty stomach (have a little something 2 hours before). You might think of something to support comfortable sitting (meditation pillow...let us know if you need a chair!). For deep relaxation you might want to bring a light scarf to cover your face, to avoid flies bothering you!
Karma Yoga
“The Discipline of Selfless Action”
Do not think a small virtue will not return in your future lives.
Just as falling drops of water will fill a large container,
The little virtues that steadfast accumulate will completely overwhelm you.

For the month of May - all proceeds from Karma classes will be donated to “Help Fatma Walk.” The story of Fatma:
Fatma is 20 years old and lost the use of her legs after a fall from the fourth floor of her building. Before she can have the operation to restore her mobility, she will undergo bone marrow injections to strengthen her bones for the process of rehabilitation.
The Breathing Room is dedicating the contributions given through this months Karma classes to help her afford these procedures. It is our deepest hope that through our own practice of yoga, we can help bring strength and well-being into the life of this young woman.

Dear Friends of the Breathing Room
All classes on Tuesday, May 1st have been canceled. The studio has undergone an "unintentional" fumigation. Today has been spent cleaning and airing out the space in hopes that we could hold classes as scheduled, but after visiting the studio - we've decided that we can not in good conscience, hold classes this evening.
Deepest apologies for the inconvenience.
Best of all wishes,
The Breathing Room

The Buhdda
Karma yoga is a practice where the desire to serve the divine in everything, be it man, animal, plant or an inanimate object, replaces the desires of the ego. The word karma is derived from the Sanskrit kri, meaning 'to do'. “Karma” simply means action. “Yoga” translates to union. Thus “Karma Yoga” literally translates to “the path of union through action.” Through the selfless action of karma yoga one begins to lose the ego that controls him and feel a union with humanity. Every month the Breathing Room will hold several karma classes. These will be donation based classes and the proceeds will go to that month’s adopted charity. In addition, the Breathing Room will match any funds raised from Karma classes.
