The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others Mahatma Gandhi

Yoga can be more than simply a practice at a studio and on a mat. At Connecticut Power Yoga, we believe that yoga is also about giving back. Being a service to others, is a powerful practice that benefits both the giver and the receiver. Connecticut Power Yoga is always looking for opportunities where we as a studio, and as a community can come together and be in service to others. Connecticut Power Yoga also has a number of ongoing projects that we support and champion.
