I met Karina, the founder of Sangha Yoga Institute, when I was seeking a deeper understanding of yoga's teachings and applications to the modern world. Over time Karina became not only one of my teachers but also a mentor. Sangha Yoga skillfully use yogic principles to develop students, train teachers, and hone coaches. I recommend Sangha Yoga Institute for anyone who wants to be connected to a tradition of service, community and authenticity. read more

Came from Grand Rapids for a week to attend half day immersion sessions that were concurrent with the yoga teacher training program. I walked away with new information, insights, and anatomy context. This was perfect to go deeper in my own practice. I'm not interested in being a teacher, so this really gave me the opportunity to learn without the teaching component (that was covered in the afternoon sessions.) I'd definitely attend another offering again. read more

History

Established in 2003.

From 2003 to 2014, Sangha Yoga operated as a drop-in yoga center in downtown Kalamazoo. Over time, the yoga industry changed. Karina Mirsky recognized that Sangha Yoga's service also needed to evolve. In 2015 the studio closed and Sangha Yoga Institute, became a school for higher learning. We now focus on yoga education. We offer complete Yoga Teacher Certification programs in Southwest Michigan, and train Yoga Coaches online. We offer one local weekly class taught by our teachers in training, graduates and faculty. Karina also travels to present in training programs in the US and Costa Rica and runs international retreats.

They had high ceilings that also have lights on them that make it feel like you're lying under the stars. Overall, it was an incredibly relaxing and empowering experience.

As I'm sure you've heard before, Buddhism is much less a religion as it a philosophy or more accurately, it's a continuously ongoing practice. You don't have to identify as any kind of Buddhist to attend their services (In fact, I myself don't identify as Buddhist). The community there is very diverse in age and ethnicity, and even those that come from many other spiritual/religious backgrounds. There are a handful of different priests and priestesses who come from a variety of Zen traditions. While the temple itself is rather small in size (and most Sunday mornings, they pack a full house), it's a very relaxing and clean space for meditation and service. The ambience is calm and welcoming. And after the Sunday service and meditation, there's a tea social period (sometimes with a yummy vegetarian potluck) that I enjoy very much. There are always tons of volunteer opportunities within and outside the Temple and plenty of community engagement opportunities. I've not been attending this temple for very long, but I now try to at least make it to the Sunday morning service every week and have attended some of the other meditation lessons that they offer on other days of the week, which has proven to be very fruitful for my meditation progress. They have been a fantastic resource in that regard, but the lessons in Buddhism and engagement with serious meditation practitioners have also been extremely helpful to me. p.s. Little Buddhas are welcome too. During the 10am Sunday service, the kids are taken care of/given Buddhism lessons by one of the monks or nuns in a separate area of the Temple.

They offer leagues all year round and they are so much fun and a great way to meet fellow golfers. I would say prices are competitive with outdoor golfing and it's great for groups. Play options include stroke play, scramble, best ball, and tournaments. Larger groups should expect that they won't finish 18 especially if everyone is playing their own ball.

There are three things in my life that have deeply impacted my ability to move powerfully in the world and toward my purpose: Sangha Yoga Institute is one of them. Although I've been "doing yoga" for decades, my Yoga Teacher Training program was what truly set me on a path toward even deeper understanding, study, practice, and teaching. I reference my materials and required reading on a regular basis, and my fellow graduates comprise a network (along with our beloved teacher) that I rely on in times of need and duress. Other programs might teach you the poses and a few mantras; Karina uses her extensive knowledge of the sutras, ancient texts, psychology, and diverse bodies of knowledge to bring the teachings to life in a meaningful and sustainable way. In the fall of 2015 I committed my time, funds, and intent to the 8-month program in service of my continued self-transformation; in the spring of 2016 I emerged as a stronger force for good in the world than I'd ever known myself to be previously....and ultimately felt drawn to serve my community as a teacher, though that hadn't been my original intent upon enrolling. If you are serious about your journey of yoga, you *must* consider this Institute. You'll be glad you did. read more
