NeXt WeEk yogi’s combine to create unity.
The Yoga Freedom Project is a monthlong campaign within the yoga community to bring awareness to the issue and to raise money. Throughout January, there have been over 50 donation-based classes taking place around the world from the US to England to Singapore. On January 31st in NYC the month culminates in Practice for Freedom, an inspirational class and celebration led collaboratively, by Elena Brower, Sri Dharma Mittra, Dana Flynn, Alan Finger, Cyndi Lee, Jodie Rufty, Sierra Bender, Tricia Donegan and Off the Mat’s Suzanne Sterling. All of these powerful teachers from varying yoga lineages are coming together to give a voice to this cause and stand in unity.
I personally being involved with this project has shed light on the larger population of this world we live in.
As Heather Snyder quotes in the YogaDork Blog:
“In Cambodia, where sex trafficking is amongst the worst in the world, children as young as 3 are sold for virginity, and are forced to service up to 20 clients a day. Girls are being tortured and raped and starved every day. What is happening is horrific and we need to educate people and shine a light on this issue if we ever want it to stop.”
Something that can be stopped if eyes are opened and hearts are mended.
Come practice with us on January 31, 2012
