Yoga Girl takes it to the streets of SF

If you live in San Francisco, you may have seen or heard about Tamara Standard (aka Yoga Girl) teaching yoga on the tough streets of the Tenderloin and Mission districts in an effort to bring yoga to people who might not have the opportunity to explore it. “My purpose in the Tenderloin has been to be an initiator into experiencing a new level of consciousness. It’s a privilege and a honor to share this unity,” she explains. You can watch Tamara at www.yogagirlsf.com. Let us know about other people practicing unique forms of karma yoga, or selfless service.

I actually have the privilege of taking classes from Tamara, She is a good teacher in some of the more traditional movements. To now know this about her makes her even a better teacher in my eyes.
