Description:
“Yoga is skill in action.†- The Bhagavad Gita
Most of us are familiar with the concept of karma yoga, and as dedicated practitioners of yoga, many of us are drawn to serve. But how do we take a vision of service–whether that’s for a donation-based yoga studio we’d like to start up, or a nonprofit organization we want to create–and turn it into a reality?
Join Kate for a practical discussion of how to manifest your ideas, and how to thread the philosophy of yoga into the way you do business. You’ll learn about critical aspects of starting up your own organization, such as developing programs, managing human resources, fundraising, financials, marketing, community outreach, and more. Participants will be encouraged, but not required, to share their specific ideas and receive feedback. There will be time for Q&A.
