We're a generosity-based yoga studio dedicated to bringing yoga's promises of steadiness, bliss, and enlightenment to all. We offer a diverse schedule of live online and in studio yoga classes. You're welcome to attend any scheduled classes for free, or to make an offering of your choosing. Karma Yoga is a path of action.
In this path, one's actions become an offering devoted to the liberation of all beings everywhere. We believe that service to others is a way to facilitate our own personal growth and evolution. Swan River Yoga Arabi holds frequent day- and weekend-long silent retreats, teacher trainings, specialized workshops, and meditation and dharma classes.

Services
By becoming a member of our community, you preserve a unique, intimate yoga studio committed to making yoga, wellness, meditation, and inner joy accessible to all, regardless of their ability to pay. COMMUNITY CARE: When you become a member of our studio, you're not really paying for yourself or your own classes.
Karma Yoga is a path of yoga dedicated to being engaged in our communities and taking care of others. This path helps us put our spiritual practices into action and plant seeds for the type of world we wish to see. Our studio is 100% run by a close-knit, dynamic community of karma yogis who believe that seva, or service, is a practical path towards our collective liberation.
Scroll through to read our annual report for 2021. If you're feeling as grateful as we do that this community exists, please make a donation and help us reach our year-end goal: $3k for 2022 and 5 new sustaining members!. We're a community of individuals committed to the principle of karma yoga, or action in the world and service to others as a path to our collective freedom from suffering.
As a generosity-based studio, it's true that we rely on the donations you offer in order to continue providing sliding scale classes, retreats, trainings, and workshops. That's the case with most businesses: there's a payment offered, and something rendered in return. But what we're trying to cultivate here at Swan River Yoga Arabi is just a little bit different.
Our yoga classes are designed to light you up on multiple levels of your being, connecting you to your heart, intention, breath, and physical body. Each class will include a centering practice, modifications for various skill levels and capabilities, and the encouragement to connect to your own inner wisdom.

I have attended classes here since 2006 and have taught here between 2017 and 2021. I love this place! Just the right amount of space for classes that not only support individual practice but also a community of practice. All of the teachers are dedicated folk who provide donation-based classes that support the studio and yogis who attend them. This selfless service generously makes available yoga, meditation, and study of sacred texts.

Positive: Quality
Swan River Yoga Arabi is such a wonderful and welcoming studio. They offer a wide variety of classes that accommodate students at all levels and the teachers are all so kind. And one of the best things is the studio is completely donation based! I have loved this space since the minute I walked through the doors.

Swan River Arabi is a yoga studio for all people. Everyone is welcome here. If you're seeking something more than a place for physical movement, Swan River can also be so much more than a yoga studio. For me, personally, it has provided an inclusive community that has helped strengthen my mind and emotional well-being as well as my physical body. The teachers are all very attentive, thoughtful, and kind. Swan River Arabi is at the top of my list of places I'll miss when I move away from New Orleans.

This is wonderful business that does more than its part to bring the healing power of yoga to *anyone* in the community, regardless of past experience or ability to pay. I've been practicing for many years, and come to Swan River Yoga Arabi for a consistent experience of quality, welcoming classes, and would recommend this business to anyone trying yoga for the first time or seeking to deepen their practice.

Very welcoming space with lots of windows. Sara is a friendly instructor and made me feel welcome from just walking in. great slow(er) but not slow flow that was great to warm the body and work out the muscles after my weekend 10K race. I was a bit sore and had to take a few short breaks but thoroughly enjoyed the class and hope to get back again soon even though its tough for me at 10:30 AM. Definetely another studio I will try to return to soon as able. thanls for the class :)
