Yogathon Inspires Change One Asana At ATime

It is why I practice and teach yoga: To share the practice, to give back and to make a difference in the world and especially within our own community.

Saturday’s First Annual Garden State Yogathon was a blissful successful.  With over 100 yoga practitioners, 12 different teachers, several different vendors donating products and services and more than $30,000 raised for 3 inspiring charities. Calling this yogathon a success is an understatement.

Kim of the fundraising team, Yoga Junkies said, “This is just a room full of people who love yoga. I love this opportunity to experience 12 new teachers.”

This event was well organized, the room was warm and energized and the vendors offered yummy treats and services. The vibe was peace, love and yoga.

One participant expressed, “This is like a yoga buffet!”

This was the first of an annual event. If you are interested in getting involved next year, reach out to Erin at GSY.

For this yogi, seeing old friends, making new ones and being part of a community
event like this Yogathon is priceless.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world, one asana at a time

Namaste.
