Want to Host a Karma Class?
In addition to the Yogathon, yoga studios across Ontario are encouraged to host Karma Classes in support of Peace of Minds throughout the month of February. The choice of date and type of class is determined by the yoga studio with the proceeds supporting SSO’s programs and services. Hosting a Karma class is a fun and fulfilling way to help SSO provide hope for Ontarians affected by schizophrenia and psychosis and their families.
To host a Karma Class contact events@schizophrenia.on.ca to receive a Karma Class Kit!
