💛 This month we are offering Donor Membership — a way to become an integral part of our Mission and practice as service!
Welcome to Love Saves the Day — our Lotusland Love Foundation, benefiting and partnering with non-profits as well as our center’s community classes, sliding scale memberships, and yoga school scholarships.
With its roots as a class taught by Jasmine every Saturday since the ‘90s, many students don’t have a reference for the name today — but it was the most fabulous and iconic vintage clothing store in NYC’s East Village back in the ’80s! The name stuck as the goal of yoga — as the great Guru Neem Karoli Baba would tell all the spiritually hungry westerners arriving in India in the ’70s: “Love others, Serve others, Feed others, Tell the truth.” This is the path of Karma Yoga — Service as Love in Action — living our yoga as a way of life, transforming the way we relate to the world. 🙏
Our very first class was around Thanksgiving, as it was getting so cold in NYC, and we partnered with City Harvest — who saw the injustice of hundreds going cold and hungry every night while tons of food was thrown out by NYC restaurants. They began the movement of food rescue, bringing that excess to shelters and serving those in need.
In the same spirit, we’ve created a membership where if you’re able to pay a little more each month, you make it possible for someone with less to pay what they can — so everyone can receive these life-changing practices! Become a Donor Member today for just $199/month auto-renew and receive full benefits — for yourself AND someone else. 💛
Over the last 27 years we have partnered with so many nonprofits — locally, nationally and internationally — for our practice to directly benefit those in need, as ourselves. By awakening all the qualities of the heart — Service, Kindness, Love, Compassion and Courage — we liberate ourselves and live a life devoted to benefiting others.
Lokah Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu — May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, deeds and actions of my own life contribute in some way. 🕉️
