NamasteDirect Yogathon

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Oakland and Sacramento Yogathon's on March 16th.

The Oakland event was held at Gold's Gym on Lake Merritt. It was a beautiful spring day and the participants were almost ready to head outside for some vinyasa by the lake! In the end, they practiced yoga inside with Kimiko Armon. The poses were accompanied by a reading of several testimonials from borrowers in Guatemala. It was a combination of people new to Gold's Gym and steadfast Kimiko followers. All were new to NamasteDirect. Welcome! The colorful table set up in the gym even attracted folks who were not participating in the event. We look forward to more yoga events in the Bay Area!

Sacramento's event was held at It's All Yoga in downtown Sacramento. Michelle Marlahan, the owner of It's All Yoga, led the participants in a series of poses. All were happy to attend and learn more about NamasteDirect's work in Guatemala. Thank you to Pam Giarrizzo, long time Namaste Direct supporter, for your efforts in recruiting participants and making the event a success!

All proceeds from the Yogathon will be going to the Edubanco program in Guatemala. Stay tuned for the results of your generous contributions and amazing efforts!
