Namaste from WICCI Karnataka Yoga Council!
As we build up to International Yoga Day 2024, we are excited to ramp up the activities at the Karnataka Yoga Council. The theme for this year's Yoga Day is "Yoga for Women Empowerment". As a council whose main focus is to empower yoginis in Karnataka through visibility, community, scholarship and advocacy, this theme comes at an opportune time. Over the last month, we have hosted 2 amazing yoginis - Dr. Praveena Rodrigues and Sahana Ravindranath. We have discussed the learning from Shakta Yoga, Vedanta and Ayurveda. (If you missed it, you can catch up with it on our YouTube channel). We have built a wonderful newsletter that brings varied opinions, perspectives, points of study, events, etc, right to your inbox. We have grown strong as a Sangha of women looking to elevate other women.
Looking forward, we have many exciting projects in the pipeline. Our dream of bringing feminine balance to an overtly masculine narrative of yoga is coming to fruition. Our first online course, Lessons from Akka Mahadevi, has been launched. Available as live classes or on-demand videos, this course highlights the wisdom of a very accomplished yogini from Karnataka, Akka Mahadevi. Mahadevi's work is revolutionary in the Kannada language, and her life stands as a testament to women's contributions and lineages in the field of yoga and religion.
Our mentorship program is taking shape to help and guide yoginis seeking a community to belong to. It takes a village, they say, and we're happy to support women find their true expression as a yogini. If you have been looking for a community to call your own, I invite you to apply to join our Council. If you're unable to join full-time, you are welcome to volunteer with us too!
Looking forward to bringing you more magic,
