108 Sun Salutations - getting naked to help Nepal!

Image
Sunday 24 May 2015 - we'll be doing 108 hatha sun salutations to raise money for Nepal and those helping with emergency services. The funds will go to community organisations that we know directly on the ground in that country. Funds will be channelled through a South African registered NGO / NPO Trust and delivered to an equivalent indigenous peoples environmental and community development project in Kathmandu. The recipient organisation is working both in Kathmandu and the Mount Everest area. They are currently supplying tents, food and medicine to displaced people. If you can't make the yoga class, email us and we'll send you the South African NGO / NPO banking details. Deposits should be marked 'Nepal'.

We'll be doing the sacred practice of 108 Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskara) in homage to those who lost their lives and for all of those trying to pick up the pieces, nurse the grieving and the injured, and to rebuild their country. 108 sun salutations are not easy, so keep in mind that you need to practice, be in shape and know your limits. It takes about 90 minutes to get through the practice. We'll have two or more teachers coaching. As always, we'll be buck naked and sweating as we go through the cycle. We ask you to bring cash and donate generously. We'll be sending the money directly to people we know working on the ground...
