Seva Opportunities

BKC members who do at least eight hours a month of seva (volunteer work) are recognized as seva members.  As a seva member, you can attend almost all of Kripalu’s daytime Retreat and Renewal activities at no cost.  They include guest yoga classes, (NOT the 4:15 p.m. Saturday yoga classes), noontime activities, morning and afternoon workshops, exercise room, sauna and whirlpool.  Always wear your BKC nametag, as this is the way Kripalu’s staff knows that you belong in an activity.  BKC seva members attending Retreat and Renewal activities are expected to voluntarily leave any class that fills up. This is to assure that we do not prevent any in-house Kripalu guests from taking the class.

BKC seva members who perform their seva at Kripalu can purchase one meal at Kripalu for $4 on each day that they do seva.

For information and guidance on becoming a BKC seva member, please contact our seva coordinator; Devadas, gregg061488@yahoo.com tel. 413-698-2695
