April 25- Yoga for Change, Yoga for Good
|
Right now, in programs all across the country, yoga is being taught as a tool for personal growth to many different populations who would otherwise not have access to it. Right here in Portland, we are blessed with two very well-known non-profits involved with this work: Living Yoga and Street Yoga. These volunteer-driven organizations are helping people turn their lives around, one breath at a time, by offering yoga classes to those in prison, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, survivors of domestic violence and people experiencing homelessness, to name a few. In doing so, they play a vital role in dissolving stereotypes about yoga and those who practice it, and in turn, how society views these populations. For in the end, it is important to remember that there really is no "other". We exist as one global community, ultimately working toward the same goals of health and happiness.
We hope you'll join HeartSong in supporting Living Yoga by becoming a team member for this year's 3rd annual Yogathon.
The kick-off party is happening at Yoga on Yamhill this Saturday, April 28 from 12-2pm. Leslie will be teaching a free class, so come on down and get your month of fundraising started off right!
Can't make the kick-off? You can still join our team. Visit Living Yoga's FirstGiving site to register.
