Yoga Jam - events for a cause

June 18, 2011 - Yoga Jam hosted by Semperviva - City Studio. What a ride....!

The cause: Africa Yoga Project
* a project dedicated to bringing the practice and philosophy of yoga to those in Africa, specially the slums of Nairobi, Kenya.

This monthly Yoga event is raising much needed funds for the Africa Yoga Project (www.africayogaproject.org). Each month inspiring and diverse teachers come together to create an out of the box, fun yoga practice for everyone! Music, prizes and surprises in store each month. It's all about what's possible when we come together!

The first Yoga Jam Event took place in Whistler BC, Canada with an aim to raise $10,000 for the Africa Yoga Project. Now the Yoga Jam is reaching out globally with the intention to raise over $100,000 while strengthening the fabric of our connections.

This Saturday was the first Vancouver based yoga jam at Semperviva - we helped raise $1470.00 toward the project and countless quantities of positive energy!

4 teachers & 4 styles: Cam (Yin), Wes (Hatha), Crista (Vinyasa Flow), and Gloria (Kundalini)

Highlights:
* Happy hip openers with Cam
* Joyful hatha sequences with rockin music & Wesley
* Powerful flow with Crista

* Getting our kundalini energy rising with Gloria! Oh how we danced!!!!
