Seva

Here at Satya, we're all about seva (service). We believe it's our responsibility to take our yoga "off the mat and into the world". That's why we've taken on a few new pet projects:

First, we've made the commitment to collect art supplies in the studio for Susan Hansford, one of our students. Susan travels once a month (!!!) to teach art to children in an orphanage in Morocco. Talk about taking your yoga into the world! We've pledged to collect any and all art supplies we can for Susan to share with these children. We'll be accepting paper, construction paper, glue, glitter (this one is huge for these kids!), tape, paints, whatever. Susan says broken crayons are ok, half-colored coloring books-whatever you've got laying around the house. These children have so little and are excited about everything. Please consider sharing some of your used (or new!) art supplies with them.

Also, at the Midwest Yoga Conference in May, Seane Corn shared with us how she's sponsoring two children in an orphanage in Cambodia. A donation of $100 a month feeds, clothes, houses and schools these children. We, at Satya Yoga Center, would like to join in this service. With your help we can raise this money each month and make a difference in a child's life. We have a container on our counter at the reception area for donations. Consider dropping in your spare change, a few dollars, whatever you can spare.

You can check out their web site at http://www.cambodianchildrensfund.org/ for more information. Again, these children have so little and we, as Americans, have so much in comparison. When we've reached our goal we'll be able to sponsor our child and will have pictures and emails from our child to share with all of you.

Please consider opening your hearts and supporting us in our seva. It is our responsibility as yogis to continue the abundance to those less fortunate. Namaste!
