Seva, The Practice of Selfless Service
A Aogi Kitchen is a community that dedicates ourselves to yoga on and off the mat. We believe in community and connection. We practice dedication to others, or Seva, as a integral part of our spiritual growth.
Giving your time, energy and resources helps you open your heart and balance the energy of lovingkindness and compassion. Getting on the mat to practice the poses, breathwork and to meditate also helps you open your heart, quiet your brain and be the best you that you know how to be.
In addition to practicing yoga together, we cook twice a month for the community meal at Sunrise Project.We provide over 600 hot meals per week and 100-200 meals in the fridge.
Some of us join together to prep and cook at Sunrise and some of us bake cookies, bars and cupcakes in our homes. We collect baking ingredients for people who like to bake, but don't have their resources rto share their talent. We also collect donations of blankets, clothing, especially warm weather gear and get them to the organizations that need them.
Currently we are collecting blankets and socks for DARE center and coats, hts and gloves for Sunrise Project.
