This past year brought us so much joy. It was in the stars for 2019 to be a Master Year, and it sure was. Each year that goes by it seems our sangat gets a little bigger and brighter. The work we witness in our classrooms is so much more than yoga. It’s people getting to their deepest Self. That brings us the deepest gratitude, to be able to witness and share this journey of love, growth and Infinite blessings. We leveled up, literally. We added a 2nd floor where you'll find another therapy room , a student lounge and beautiful 1000 sq/ft. practice space. This year, it’s through the roof! But before we move further into 2020, let’s take a look back at just some of what made 2019 so special.

A Day of Healing

One of our most memorable highlights was hosting 23 women from Angel Mamas, a project that restores hope and brings healing to parents who have lost their children to gun violence in Chicago. Karampal shared the healing of kundalini yoga and gongs, our Healing Arts Team offered over 60 services in energy work and massage. All lovingly coordinated by our sister in peace, Miss Darra, Sponsored by Roseland Ceasefire, of Insight Project for Kids and Sat Nam Yoga.

To serve in this capacity is what every yoga teacher and healer dreams of. We are in complete awe of their courage. ⁣

THANK YOU

We share our success because we share your success. You, our dear family, are central to the growth of our community and the gratitude that we hold for such a special time in our lives. You are what makes Sat Nam. We strive to meet you at the frequency that you bring, to serve you in the ways you serve us by truly showing up in love, truth and honor of all.
