CELEBRATING COMMUNITY

Dear friends,

We have been so blessed this month for the opportunity to connect with so many of you!

This past weekend we hosted a booth at the Northwest Yoga Conference and our teacher trainer, Katie Okun, taught the workshop: "Teaching Yoga to Teens: Let's get started." We also participated in the Seattle Central Community College Health and Wellness fair last weekend.

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by our table and introduced themselves! It's such a tremendous blessing to get to know many of you and hear your stories. Thank you for your support for Street Yoga's mission and your enthusiasm for our work!

I look forward to connecting with you all again soon.

In gratitude,

Jessica Osberg
