SHOW UP FOR INDIA
Yoga is from India. As yoga practitioners and a yoga studio, everything that we learn and take from yoga comes from the deep sacred traditions of India. This practice has deeply transformed our lives. Yoga means union. It’s time to come together. In honoring our roots of yoga authentically, that includes yoga in action and taking our practice off the mat. Right now, what India needs most is rapid direct aid and we can help. The most impactful thing we can do for India is raise money quickly.
COVID-19 is spreading at rapid rates through India with case numbers reaching higher than 300,000 per day. They have run out of oxygen, ventilators, PPE, and hospitals are beyond capacity. This ongoing crisis is just beginning and we know from health officials that without rapid, direct intervention things will continue to get worse as the month goes on.
Here’s how you can help:
We will host a series of benefit classes throughout the month starting this week on Thursday at 5pm with Sarah Diedrick. Classes are donation-based, pay what you can with ALL proceeds going to Breathe India. Breathe India is a grassroots movement working to provide oxygen concentrators in New Delhi. As of April 30, they are collaborating with the Right Walk Foundation to expand into other regions in India. Learn more about their fundraiser here.
