Non-harming, non-violence and compassion are all forms of how Ahimsa is practiced. Today is an opportunity to have some awareness around these topics and how they are perceived and experienced in our day to day. What are some ideas you might have that could bring more of this into our lives now and moving forward? ...

Whether you are a teacher or a student, these 5 weeks will give you a further understanding of the yoga that is found without having to step on to a mat! It will offer you a guide to exploring our yogic principles and how we embody them in our day to day life. We will discuss the 5 yamas and 5 niyamas written by Patanjali, the two limbs that come before Asana. They consist of 10 principles that bring attention to our social experiences, tendencies and practices and also our i...nternal compass for self discovery, trust and acceptance. Each principle is left to be interpreted by you and in your life. We will discuss the nature of each principle and its history. Through self inquiry we will build regular patterns for how we can embody these principles into our lifestyle as we grow. If you are a student looking to explore what yoga means without a mat, this is the course for you. For teachers who studied the yamas & niyamas in their teacher training, this course is also an experiential guide to seeing where they exist in our life currently and seeking balance among them. While exploring these principles and philosophies, you can expect to have daily exercises, online discussions, and meditations. It will explore the edges of our habits and beliefs to invite a lifestyle of observance, abundance and gratitude. www.karmateachers.org/yamas-niyamas

Good Afternoon 2021, Karma Teachers is here to stay! We are not re-branding this name. Please read below about how our future plans to create simplicity and accessibility for online yoga during this pandemic in service to you, while also providing options to support your favorite teachers needs. As we enter 2021 we still need to maneuver around the impacts of 2020. We often look to reflect on the past and create a future to support an improved lifestyle. For Karma Teachers... a few things will be spiritual growth, personal and professional development with compassion. How can we continue to reach our audience? How can we equip ourselves with the skills needed to do so? How can we empower our graduates and teachers in sharing their desired offerings? 2020 offered a lot opportunities to dip our toes in the water of experiences, even if we are not ready to swim yet. An observation of what can help facilitate that is support for general well-being, empowering strength to overcome obstacles and support one another in positive growth and education. While many of you have welcomed the teachers into your homes through online classes, we want to explore the possibilities of making this accessible for more teachers to offer classes as well. Supporting teachers who are dedicated to education through facilitating content creation, building an audience, hosting workshops and providing space for recording. In February we will be launching a customized online dashboard that has ALL your classes and workshops in ONE place. YOU will have the option to donate to your teachers, to the studio and view it online. www.karmateachers.org receives thousands visitors per month and we want this to be aimed towards further reach of the teachers efforts during these times. Karma Teachers is currently seeking additional support for teachers of programs and public classes, volunteer work in administration, and donations. Please email [email protected] A full update of this years plans will be disclosed throughout the month. Keep your eyes peeled for Karma Teachers first yoga retreat at @newearthinstitute in Spring 2021! Wishing you all a wonderful Day 1 & further on!

On the day of the great Conjuction in Aquarius, Aneesha Sasha Kozikova Shares a healing Kundalini practice for us. Save the link to practice tonight or Any time during the hoidays

Have you met our new YTT Coordinator Farah?@farahmotani She has been involved with the Karma community for two yearsas a student, volunteer, yoga teacher, and course assistant to Niki and Lucy. Farah is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Ayurveda enthusiast, and has spent the last seven years working in the food security and non-profit sectors in Canada, Tanzania and Nicaragua.... Farah was introduced to yoga and nutrition after developing a health condition. She was able to bring balance to it through asana, meditation, pranayama, following Ayurvedic principles, practicing self-love, eating whole foods, and honouring her ancestral roots. Farah's main passion is sharing these practices with others and making yoga and food affordable and accessible to people of all backgrounds. To Farah, yoga is not only about practicing on the mat, but also off the mat as well. She encourages those around her to use yoga as a tool to live an appreciative and altruistic lifestyle for inner and outer peace, emotional and physical wellbeing, and the ability to build thereality that you desire, no matter what the circumstances. We are excited to have Farah as our new YTT Coordinator. She will be working with the team in running our 200HR + 300HR programming, workshops and private classes. Welcome Farah! #karmateachers #yogaforaction #bydonationyoga #nonprofit #yogaforeveryone #healthylifestyle #yogateachersvancouver #yogateacherscollege #yogavancouver #nonprofityoga #movementasmedicine #300hrytt #200hrytt #vancouverlifestyle #vancouverhype #plantbasedlifestyle #kitsilano #eastvancouver #vancouveryogis #healthymindandbody @thejavayogasolution & @lucystjohnyoga

A message from the board . . . To the Karma community, we would like to announce that Katie's last day as the Karma Teachers Executive Director will be on 29th October.... The board would like to say a massive thank you to Katie who joined KT during a time of great transition. The task facing Katie was one that we are sure many people would have turned away from, but Katie persevered and worked tirelessly to bring Karma Teachers to the standard of a well run organisation with proper procedures, controls and governance. She has left Karma in a much better place than it was when she started and we can not thank Katie enough for all she has done. As mentioned Katie’s last day is 29th October, so you have a few days to reach out with any personal messages. We wish Katie a very well earned rest (recovery!) over the next few months and we look forward to seeing Katie at Karma or around the North Shore in the future. . .

Empower your self-healing nature Come to FallYing! Getting into the Yin season, our bodies are asking for slower practices. FallYing is an offering that will deepen your power of self-healing through sound, breathwork, slow movement and stillness. This practice will assist you, ... to reduce and manage stress through deep rest to improve your balance, strength and flexibility. Starting with a Pranayama breathwork, you will travel through a smooth Hatha practice adding movement and warming up the body. Once our bodies are open you will dive deeply into the fascia and connective tissues through the practice of Yin Yoga. While immersing yourself in the healing powers of sound you will experience physical and mental relief with a Restorative practice. This practice will allow you to relax your parasympathetic system through soothing style of poses that are held for longer periods of time using tons of props. At the end, the practice of Nidra+ Sound bath will make you reach deep states of recovery, regeneration and even more relaxation! What a way to tune into the fall!
