I had heard of a little boy in the neighborhood with cancer, and his family was reaching out to raise money to cover the mounting medical expenses. I had been wanting to bring people together for a yoga event, and this seemed like a nice place to start, as a fundraiser for his family.
The first event brought in 15 wonderful people and we raised $160 for the family. The event took place at the mother'hood (http://themotherhooddenver.com/) on 29th & Zuni in Denver. Many thanks go to the donation of the YogaPod for the event!
Our first event included a yoga class taught by 4 amazing teachers. I started off the class, then Kat Saks (http://www.katsaksyoga.com/) took over. Jennifer Lux (http://blissfulbirthing.org/profile.html) taught the next powerful piece. Kristin Crosby finished up with a heart-opening savasana.
Yoga was followed by a Potluck Social. All yogis brought something to share, a dish or drink. This was an amazing piece of the evening, in my opinion. Being able to chat over good brought people together, forging that community I desired to create.
