Nadine Sidhu, Founder of Connecting Karma, launched her business in the middle of a global pandemic when economic downturns and multiple lockdowns made it hard to connect, move and support her community.

With a passion in yoga, teaching and wellness, she started off small by offering online teen yoga classes to connect her children with their friends.

Other parents began to see the transformation in their children as well and started to ask for online group classes for adults, to help cope with the stress or working and homeschooling.

From that moment, Nadine started to gather wonderful, established yoga teachers that volunteered their time, knowledge and talent, to provide quality yoga classes to students of all levels.

The goal was to help people benefit from the physical and mental wellbeing that yoga, movement and meditation provides, while raising monetary funds to give back to the local businesses and charities.

To support Connecting Karma and the people that need it the most, please take a moment to donate what you can and help create a positive difference in our community.

We are so thankful to have such an amazing community and help bring people together in breath and movement.

Here’s a wonderful testimonial from a dear client of ours.

“Coming from a person who did not enjoy yoga, Nadine has given me a new perspective.

Her love and passion for teaching yoga is very apparent in her classes.

Nadine makes every individual student feel important and nurtures their strengths and areas that need improvement.

When I first started, I could not hold a pose for more than 2 seconds.

However, while practicing weekly with Nadine, I’m now more confident and find my balance is much better.

Nadine makes yoga enjoyable and fun. Thank you for converting me into a yogi! -Wendy, Burlington.

Welcome to Connecting Karma’s Social Media Page.

We are so delighted to have you part of our community and grateful to share our purpose and passion with you.

To give you a little background on us, we are a non-profit organization created by Nadine Sidhu and run by a wonderful group of volunteer yoga teachers.

During the first lockdown here in Canada, Nadine was noticing the mental and physical effects happening to her children as they tried to cope with feelings of isolation.

She decided to teach free online yoga classes for her children and their friends to foster that sense of connection and care, not realizing what was in store for her.

From that first class, Nadine started to get requests from many parents to teach classes to them and their children - in which Connecting Karma was born.

Fortunate to know amazing and talented instructors whom Nadine had met through being connected to the yoga community and strengthening her own yoga practice, teachers wanted to help support the cause while reducing the ramifications that the pandemic had on everyone.

Nadine started to gather wonderful, established yoga teachers that volunteer their time, knowledge and talent, to provide quality yoga classes to students of all levels.

We are so grateful to be able to provide the physical and mental wellbeing that yoga, movement and meditation provides, while raising monetary funds to give back to local businesses and charities.
