Haiyan Khan

General Manger and Co-owner of
Swan River Community Center: Yoga and Seva

-Haiyan is very excited about Swan Rivers Arabi Seva project. At our Arabi studio we try and embody the concept of SEVA ( selfless service) as we learn to walk the path of Karma Yoga. We see how this beautiful practice may benefit so many who otherwise maynot be able to afford this. This center is about giving and giving back knowing we have received so much. So come join us at this amazing location.
