FALL 4 YOGAAID | september 1-october 2
yogaaid
can't believe the SUMMER OF LOVE is drawing to a close, but we're super-excited about what's next: the YOGAAID CHALLENGE!

the YogaAid challenge is a special 2-hour practice held in hundreds of locations worldwide to fundraise for yoga nonprofits working to spread the joy of yoga across the planet....like our friends, the Africa Yoga Project!

AYP has set a BIG goal for themselves in 2012: to train and hire 50 new teachers. it takes $2,000 to train and pay a new AYP teacher for one year. it's our goal to raise enough to fund two new teachers!

that's right...we're looking to raise $4,000 through our CHALLENGE!

we're so sure we can do it, we've kicked things off with a $2,000 donation....now we're asking you to pitch in and match us for the other $2K!

our practice  will be held on october 2 at the supercool restored historic Deturk Round Barn: we'll be practicing in the round with some amazing guest teachers!

there's no charge for the event, it's all by donation...we're suggesting $40/per person, but feel free to donate what you can! even better, sign up to do your own fundraising.

we've got some great events lined up to help us reach our goal, keep reading below!
