Breathe. Believe. Receive.
“Chandra” means “moon” and “Karuna” means “compassion”.
As the moon, we are invited to do our work with mastery, to come out from the clouds and shine!
Compassion, to remind ourselves to keep our hearts soft and open to Love.
Chandra Karuna Yoga believes yoga is for everyONE.
Yoga helps us to find more awareness and acceptance in our bodies and minds, and compassion and gratitude in our hearts.
It allows us to come back to our True Self and to feel accepted and good enough as we are.
