Live Music and Restorative Yoga
A fundraiser for Nepal Flood Relief
On August 26th, a series of catastrophic flash floods hit the valleys of central-northern Nepal. The flooding disrupted settlements, displaced thousands of people, and created unprecedented ecological damage. Thousands of people lost their lives, and many families are undergoing active search efforts to locate loved ones.
Please join us at the BYMC as we come together to amplify relief efforts to support families in Nepal displaced by the recent flooding. As students, teachers, and practitioners of yoga, we are extremely privileged to engage daily with practices and traditions deeply rooted in the Himalayas, including places like Nepal. Yogic philosophy encourages us to translate our yoga into action- which includes pouring our attention, care, and resources back into the regions and communities that we have so greatly benefited from.
Jihelah Greenwald will be providing a slower, restorative yoga sequence while Paul Foreman performs live music for those who come to donate to the relief funds and practice with us.
