Hey everyone, I’ve been exploring more ways we can create meaningful connection and impact within our alumni community, and I came across a beautiful retreat center in Costa Rica (recently ranked #1 by National Geographic). It sparked an idea: what if we created an alumni-only retreat where we come together to practice and share the Seven Doorways in our own unique styles? We could rotate teaching, offer special workshops, collaborate, create content, and really use the time to expand and support one another. The intention would be to keep this feeling intimate, collaborative, and community-led — more like a shared immersion than a traditional retreat. I’ve already reached out to the center and am waiting to learn more. I’d love to hear your thoughts and whether this is something you’d be interested in being part of. Big love, Jonah

Hey family 🤍 We’re excited to announce that we’re launching an online 200-hour training on Zoom. We ran this during the pandemic and it went incredibly well, and we’re feeling called to offer it again. We’re currently looking for teachers who’d like to be involved — helping spread the word within their communities, contributing guest lectures, and supporting some of the training hours. This is a paid opportunity, and we deeply value the time and energy you bring. If you’re interested, leave a comment below and we’ll reach out. We’re also happy to provide a unique referral code for those who’d like to earn commission. Sending many blessings into the New Year, and looking forward to continuing to collaborate and grow together. https://www.wetravel.com/trips/become-a-yogi-live-online-200-hour-teacher-training-kestyoga-6895305483

WHAT IF WE DID A ROTATING ZOOM CLASS EVERY SUNDAY? WE COULD MAKE IT DONATION BASED AND ADVERTISE THROUGH BECOMEAYOGI - ANYONE INTERESTED IN THIS?

If you practice yoga long enough, you eventually start asking about karma. The word karma comes from the Sanskrit root kri (often spoken as kar), which means to act or to create. Karma isn’t fate. It’s not punishment. It’s cause and effect in motion. It’s the understanding that your life is not random. Your reality is shaped moment to moment by the actions you take, the words you choose, and most importantly, how you respond. You are not your thoughts. You are not even your actions alone. You are the pattern of response you bring to the world you are helping create. Some people call this the law of attraction. Yoga calls it responsibility. When you fully accept this, something shifts. You stop being a victim of life, and you begin participating in it. For me, embracing karma has been deeply empowering. It gave me the ability to change my reality, not someday, but right now. The Four Laws of Karma 1. Karma is constant You are always planting seeds. Every action has a consequence. Nothing is neutral. 2. Karma expands What you put out doesn’t just return, it returns amplified. In waves. 3. Karma comes back in kind The quality of the seed determines the quality of the fruit. Plant bitterness, and bitterness returns. Plant clarity, care, or courage, and that same quality comes back to you. 4. If nothing is planted, nothing grows You don’t receive without offering. You can’t wait for your “boat to come in” if you never sent one out. And no, it’s not coming back loaded with gold if nothing was invested. There are no accidents here. You only reap the fruit of seeds that have been planted. So choose carefully. Moment to moment. Because karma is constant. Karma is certain. And your response is the practice.
