Yoga Warriors Week
You don’t need any additional reasons to begin practicing yoga, but if the already known health benefits haven’t swayed you then join fellow Darien yogi’s for a session of downward-facing dog stretching to benefit soldiers injured in the line of duty. Elements Yoga & Wellness Center in Darien, CT is launching a weeklong initiative called Yoga Warriors Week to raise donations for the nationally organized non-profit charity Wounded Warriors Project which serves injured veterans and their family members.
Yoga enthusiasts of all skill levels are urged to participate and be a warrior-in-support for just one week. The fundraiser includes a silent auction open from September 5th to September 12th to bid on prizes like private yoga classes and massages, and gift certificates to some of the area’s best restaurants. They’ll also be collecting goods for a care package being sent to troops in Afghanistan and a full list of food, toiletry and other products accepted can be found on their website. Community members can participate in the final by-donation yoga class on September 12th led by Bruce Bassock to conclude everyone’s generous and combined efforts.
