The Joys and Perils of Doing Good

Type:       ● [D] "Off The Mat" / "Giving Back" ●

INSTRUCTOR:   Lindsey Clennell

Class Description: Karma Yoga, what does it mean, and how should we respond to our experiences in life? "Do the right thing" is not always so easy. But yoga gives us a lot of clues about how to act in the different situations we meet in life. And sometimes the answers we come up with can surprise us and need some understanding. In this talk, based on the assertion that all life is yoga, Lindsey will share the way yoga practices have influenced his perceptions, assessments and actions in various adventures which include, Ethiopian famine refugees in Sudan, Mother Teresa, Mikhail Gorbachev, Muhammad Ali, release of American hostages before the first Iraq War, starting and funding a not-for-profit and introducing yoga to the Ubuntu AIDS education foundation in South Africa. a.
