| Tom Gillette will lead a special class on Sat, July 26, 3pm, donating all the revenue to Doctors without Borders. (also known as "Medecins Sans Frontiers: MSF") Our modest goal is to collectively raise $3000 dollars.
Doctors without Borders was founded in 1971 as the first nongovernmental organization to both provide emergency medical assistance and bear witness publicly to the plight of the people it assists. A private nonprofit association, Doctors Without Borders works in over 60 countries. In emergencies and their aftermath, Doctors withtout Borders provides essential health care, rehabilitates and runs hospitals and clinics, performs surgery, battles epidemics, carries out vaccination campaigns, operates feeding centers for malnourished children, and offers mental health care. When needed, Doctors withtout Borders also constructs wells and dispenses clean drinking water, and provides shelter materials like blankets and plastic sheeting. |
New Information: Live music. Ted Murano will play sitar and tanpoora during the yoga class and shavaasana. How fantastic!!! The yoga class is suitable for everyone. Normal room temperature with lots of stretchy feel good moves. | ||||||||||||||||

Give out of Love
Practice with Love Please make a tax-deductible check out to Doctors Without Borders for a minumum of $30 and bring it to class. In order to reach our goal of $3000, we need as many people as possible to donate much more than the minimum. Please donate $50 if you have the means. If you are really inspired to help our world and these very brave humanitarians, make a check for $100 or more. This is a non-profit truly worthy of your support. When you practice yoga with a loving intention you are rewarded 10 fold by the universe. Guareenteed. Karma Yoga, the yoga of self-transcending action has been heralded by all the yogic scriptures and wise persons of all traditions as one of the highest paths to wisdom. By helping others you are helping yourself because we are all connected. Give without fear of not having enough. Abundance will come back to you. By giving you are sending a powerful message to your unconscious mind: that you have plenty. That you are abundant. It never fails that more prosperity comes to you through the Law of Attraction. Give, give and the key is to give until it hurts a little. Then it is real. Sorry, we will not accept class cards that day. |
