YOGATHON @ GYROTONIC SATNAM

Set an intention for your day, for your practice, for your life.

I strive to live up to my intentions everyday. They are ever changing and range from giving all of my heart to taking a deep breath while driving!

My intentions for the past 7 months have included spreading the word for Off the Mat Into the World.

There is a courageous community of people living in Uganda. They live everyday with unimaginable obstacles and still bring laughter and joy to their lives.

People in Northern Africa live on about $1 a day.



We can and are making a huge difference in these lives. Awareness and education about HIV and Aids will be more available with the programs that are being created with our donations.

Our donations are what they need to educate their community and have safe birthing practices for mothers with HIV/Aids.

I am passionate about the practice of Yoga and the strength that the community can bring to others.

Please help me in raising my goal of $20,000 by December 15th 2009.

If I reach this goal I will go to Uganda and work with these amazing organizations and the well deserving people of Uganda.

UNITE! Concert on May 30th

We raised over $1000!!!

The first UNITE! Benefit Concert turned out to be a pretty awesome event!

Thank you to SILOH, Mike Dunn and the New Englanders, and Black Finger.
You all rocked for an amazing cause and you were heard loud and clear.

Thank you to PROPAGANDA for hosting the event and having us in your space. I can't wait to come back and see some more shows.

It was an inspiring and energizing evening with a venue packed full of people with great energy.
I am SO excited for the next concert @ Havana Hideout on June 27th!!!

UNITE! Benefit Concerts

Only 2 weeks away from the first UNITE! Benefit Concert!

I can't wait to feel the energy that will surround this beautiful cause.

Throughout this journey I have learned that there is nothing greater than the giving of yourself to others. Compassion makes the world go round! I only hope to give as much as I can and inspire others to do the same. We are so blessed to live in the free world as we do and what I have seen and heard about the situation on the other side of the world has changed me indefinitely.

Peace and love to everyone.....have a fabulous day!
