What’s a Sun Salutation, Anyway?
For those wondering what exactly happens at this event, participants will engage in a delightful series of sun salutations—these are specific yoga poses paired with breathing techniques that flow seamlessly together. Not only does this practice promote physical strength and flexibility, but it’s also known for instilling a sense of calm and well-being. Now, here’s the best part: you don’t need to be a seasoned yogi to join in; everyone is welcome! Plus, video demonstrations on how to perform sun salutations are available for those who might need a little visual guidance.
Support a Worthy Cause
By participating in the 25 Sun Salutations Yoga Fundraiser Challenge, attendees will be supporting Centro Infantil de Los Angeles, a hardworking non-profit organization that operates a daycare and preschool in Mexico. This organization is dedicated to providing essential educational opportunities to children, and as we all know, education is a vital stepping stone in life. To join this uplifting event, participants are encouraged to donate $25 or more, which goes directly to support this noble cause. If you’re interested in registering, reach out to Tammy at [email protected].
