The Karuna River Alliance is a non-profit group that serves communities with
specific needs through therapeutic yoga and creative practices.

Karuna is an ancient word for compassion.

Rivers nourish us and evoke notions of renewal and change.

The flow of a river, like the flow of yoga, rejuvenates, restores and heals.

They both  encourage us to communicate, to share, and to join together.

Embodying a river's flow, the mission of the Karuna River Alliance

is to offer yoga help one another explore, create, release

and become transformed.

Our deepest desire is to bring the practice of yoga to where it can serve.

This includes cancer patients and survivors.

A therapuetic yoga practice can ease the effects of

cancer treatments and related surgeries and

assist in rehabilitation and all around healing. 

In most cases, including terminal cancer, a yoga

practice can decrease

suffering and increase quality of life.

Returning injured war Veterans

can find a therapuetic yoga practice to be a positive

addition to standard physical and emotional therapies.

At risk youth and vicitims of domestic violence

can boost self esteem and release stress

through a mindful yoga practice.

We come from a variety of backgrounds and

wish to share our experiences gained from life

and yoga practice to help bring some

peace of mind to all beings everywhere.

Lokah samastah sukinoh bavantu- may all beings everywhere be happy and free!
