Is yoga heart-healthy? Science suggests, “It's no stretch to see benefits”
Check out this article discussing Yoga’s benefits on heart health including some of the following:
Yoga helps to reduce cholesterol by stretching and massaging the abdominal organs, enabling them to perform their purposes more efficiently to reduce LDL cholesterol.
Mindfulness, relaxation, and deep breathing lower the blood pressure and reduce stress and anxiety.
Some practices of yoga elevate heart rate enough to count as moderate physical activity. Other practices include strong, muscle-engaging poses and can be considered resistance work.
Yoga also helps to improve blood sugar levels since it can reduce blood pressure and increase circulation.

Milagro House
Milagro House provides education, housing, and support to women and their children who are facing homelessness. Our vision is to prepare the women and children who come through our doors with the skills they need to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty and move from dependency to self-sufficiency.
“Our programming centers around education. We believe education is the catalyst for moving women from poverty to sustainability, and from dependency to independence through meaningful, gainful employment. This impact not only improves the lives of the women served by Milagro House but also their children and future generations.

A donation is made to Baba's Feed Project for everyone present
Exchange in Studio or when you arrive, cash or CC
Baba's Feed Project, Inc. is a California non-profit corporation. Our 501(c)(3) application is in process and pending. Baba's Feed Project was created to purchase food and deliver food kits to families throughout Northern India who are deprived of the opportunity to work for survival. You can read about the founders & organization here.
Everyone deserves the right to have their basic needs fulfilled.
BABA'S ASHRAM
We believe that sustainable work is locally-led. Along with implementing community-owned feeding projects, we dream of providing education and employment opportunities.
Baba Neem Karoli was a much-beloved Indian saddhu whose teachings were quite simple. He told his devotees to "Love, serve and feed people," and said, "God comes to the hungry as food." His ashram fed everyone who came to visit, and although he left his body in 1973, devotees worldwide still honor and worship him. The founders of this organization - from New Zealand, India and the U.S. - are among those devotees, and were inspired to live his teachings. We know that when people aren't scrambling to find scraps to eat life feels a little less stressful. They can even think a bit about their children's future. They can dare to dream. With full bellies, everyone can stay healthier and life is a little easier. Our feed kits can help.
