Dive deep into the fountain of youth and celebrate the beauty of live with this special Yin Yoga & Kirtan Celebration! Designed to rejuvenate the body, calm the mind, open the heart & ignite the spirit, this is a special event not to be missed. The evening will begin with a series of gentle Yin poses led by Donna to open & prepare the body for chanting. Michael will then lead an invigorating live Kirtan & lull you through a deeply restorative savasana with the vibrations of a soothing Gong Meditation.

Co-Presented by Michael Kolasa, Certified 3HO Kundalini Instructor, Licensed Psychotherapist, Musician. Visit kolasamusic.com and Donna Helm-Yost. Donna blends Eastern & Western philosophies in her teachings, interweaving the Spiritual with her Western training as a psychoogist. Donna is founder of The Karma Yoga Project, a non-profit organization created to make the planet healthier, people happier, and the world a better place for all beings. 100% of profits from her "Flow & Yin" DVD go to support the work of The Karma Yoga Project's work with orphaned teens in Ethiopia.

All proceeds for this Yin/Kirtan event will benefit the Karma Yoga Project's work with orphaned teens in Ethiopia. Visit beyondtheorphanage.org

Today more than ever before, the choices that we make affect our planet and every one of its inhabitants. The purchases that we make, the foods that we eat, the cars that we drive—every one of our thoughts, words, and actions impact other living beings. Instead of feeling hopeless about the challenges that we face, let’s begin to expand our awareness and feel empowered by our ability to make compassionate choices.

I'm back from my amazing journey! I can't begin to describe how transformational that it was for me. Once I get settled in, I will add information and pictures about my trip. Thanks to all of you for your love and support :-)

A New Journey Begins...

I have recently agreed to be a part of the wonderful Beyond the Orphanage team and although I will always do my best to support our beautiful planet and all beings that live here, I am changing my focus a bit. For nearly two years now I have tried to do it all--I've done my best to support organizations that heal the planet, protect animals, and support humanitarian efforts. I continue to feel passionately for all of these causes--but I've been looking for a cause that I can personally be involved in--a grassroots effort where I can use my training and skills to make a difference. I am so happy to say that I have found what I've been looking for in Beyond the Orphanage.

I hope that you will continue to support my efforts as I continue to evolve. The Karma Yoga Project is in the process of becoming a non-profit corporation. So in the future, your donations will be tax deductible.

Stay tuned for exciting changes as The Karma Yoga Project evolves!
