What is Good Karma Yoga?

Good Karma Yoga donates a portion of their profits to local charities. The more money we bring in, the more money we give away. So as you are getting fit (mentally and physically), you are also contributing to a greater good.

How does the "karma" part work?

25% of profits from each class go to a local charity. Each 2 months, members vote on what charity they would like to support. Local charities may also apply to receive funding which they may receive once a year for a period of 2 months.

Karma also works on the individual level...

For every 9 months of continuous registration, you’ll receive one month of free classes. For every 3 people a member gets to register for a month of classes, that member gets a month of free classes.

We are a local charity/cause/artist/collective - can we apply for Good Karma Yoga funding?

Yes! Contact hello@goodkarmayoga.ca. On the first class of every second month, we'll put your names and causes to a vote in class and the cause with the most votes gets our support.

Why are the classes so cheap?

Because Good Karma is run by a single person with low overhead and a big heart. Also because we want most anyone to be able to afford a class, no matter how much or little money you make.

What's a typical class like?

Good Karma Yoga classes are based on traditional Hatha yoga with some elements of flow yoga. The class starts in savasana, and we move through supine, kneeling, standing, balancing, and then sitting poses, ending with a relaxation and meditation. Each class is one hour long.

Is the class crazy hard?

No. We don't do heated or Bikram style here. At the start of class, the participants collectively determine the level of intensity and what muscles they want to focus on stretching or strengthening. Each class is tailored to the needs and wants of the individual participants.

Is the class more on the physical or spiritual end of the yoga style spectrum?

We live in a multicultural and multi denominational society and we respect the varying beliefs of all people. As a result, rather than chanting or mantras, each class begins with a short rumination by the teacher about some topic of universal interest. This could be anything from contemplating your personal thoughts, emotions, or stress level, to larger issues such as globalization, the environment, poverty, or happiness.
