We collected our last batch of donations for the Afghan schools last week, as for second quarter we will be collecting for "Moms Against Poverty" (www.momsagainstpoverty.org) for a Cambodian immunization project. Our last batch to the Clarence Foundation came to over $400. In total, we have sent over $1,900 to the Clarence Foundation and these Afghan schools over the past six months.
Thank you, Giving Yogis!

Dear Diane,
Thank you so much for your generous contribution from the Giving Yoga
program. I just wanted you to know that we received the checks totaling
$776. The Afghan Education initiative will benefit greatly from these
contributions. It was inspiring to receive contributions from some many
people and feels particularly in the spirit of the Clarence Foundation. We
will be sending our personal thanks to everyone, but please send along our
gratitude at this time.
Take care during the holidays.
Sincerely,
Bill

My husband, John, and I just returned from a weekend at the Omega "Being Yoga" conference in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. We took classes from Dharma Mittra, David Swenson, Shiva Rea, David Life, Gary Kraftsow, Cindy Lee, Sherri Baptiste (Baron's sister!), and Rod Stryker, among others. It was an amazing time--it's such a happy place when you're hanging out among yogis.[ add comment ] | permalink

In case you are not on the email list (you can sign up on front page if you want to be)...
Giving Yogis: We have just donated $611 to GlobalGiving Foundation, to be devoted to the following project for Tibetan birthing facilities:
http://www.globalgiving.com/pr/1400/proj1375a.html
If you read the page about this project, you will see that $611 will go a long way. So a great big thank you to those who have kept coming to Giving Yoga through the ups and downs of my schedule, and to those teachers who have donated their time to help keep it going when I could not be there.
I will be making a big push this summer to bring Giving Yoga back up to the level of participation we had a year ago, now that I will have more of my time and energy available! You can help me by spreading the word about Giving Yoga to your friends and family. I will be starting a new "ad campaign" to promote the program as I did when it first started.
But... I am happy to announce that in early June we will be starting a new Giving Yoga class in Old Town Alexandria, at "Generations Dance Studio," on Friday afternoons. I will be providing and posting further details next week, but these classes will be led by a new Yogafit teacher, Sara Schwartz. I am very happy to have Sara volunteer to lead these classes--at least for the next couple months until she moves to Florida!
I hope you will join me tomorrow (Wed.) at the Lakevale Estates clubhouse in Vienna (Oak Valley Drive), for the usual 7:30-8:45 pm class. Bring a friend or family member!
I will be sending out another email later this week but think it's likely that this coming Sunday's class (5/27) at WarriorYoga will be delayed until later that evening--but that I would still like to hold it (especially since the next day is a holiday off work for many of us). Please let me know if you're interested in attending and available even if the class is (temporarily) scheduled for something like 7-8:30 pm.
Namaste,
Diane

March 7: GlobalGiving has received the latest donation from us, $900, which we collected January-February. They are applying all of it toward project #1550: "Empower Women to End HIV/AIDS Stigma in South Africa": click here to view project. Our donation will take this project to its fully-funded level.
Thanks to all of you Giving Yogis for your continued support and generosity.
Namaste,
Diane
