What do they have in connection with each other? Well, if you visit the Karma Yoga Studio and teashop at 1120 Massachusetts Ave, in Cambridge you will find out. The tea shop looks very similar to a Japanese tea house (as much as is possible anyway), they sell only vegan snacks, fair trade coffee and tea, and a few fair trade products from the World of Good.

The Karma Tea Cafe donates 100% of all cow's milk sales to the Farm Sanctuary in MA. The teashop was also selling animal cards made by students from the Dr. Martin Luther King School in Cambridge. The bulletin board holds pamphlets on animal rescue groups such as Grey2K USA.
The instructors who teach the Flow Yoga class on Sunday’s 6:00-7:30 pm donate all proceeds to local animal rescue groups. In addition, the owners pump all their profits into their animal rescue efforts run out of their home. Their teachers come from many different countries and cover any different styles of yoga.
Doina Contescu, one half of the partnership, is a certified wildlife rehabilitation specialist and her passion ranges from animal rights/welfare, to theoretical physics, moral philosophy and meditation. Doina graduated from Harvard University in 1989. She currently hosts a monthly potluck vegetarian dinner at the studio, is a member of the Harvard College Vegetarian Society and a member of the Boston Vegan Meetup.
I very much admire her integrated and effective effort to support her life’s passions.
