20 + Countries, 200 + Events 20,000 Yogis Around The World Unite For First Ever
International “Yoga-Relay” For Charity.
Urban Active’s Taylorsville Rd location in Louisville, KY invites all Yogis to join thousands of others on
Sunday, September 9th at 4:15 PM to create the first ever International “Yoga Relay.” Beginning in Sydney, Australia, Yogis around the globe will participate in a series of coordinated Yoga classes, resulting in a “chain reaction,” ending in Los Angeles, California. Dubbed the “Yoga Aid World Challenge,” The 24 Hour Yoga International Event aims to raise more than $1 million for charity.
Urban Active is a participating venue of the “2012 Yoga Aid World Challenge,” with all funds raised from the event benefitting the non-profit organization, “Yoga Across America” - Yoga For Everyone, Everywhere.
“I'm so happy Urban Active will be participating in this unique and exciting 24 hour global “Yoga-Relay” event that starts in Sydney, Australia and ends in Los Angeles, California,” said Wendy Jett, Corporate Group Fitness Director at Urban Active. “We will donate monies raised from this charity event to Yoga Across America, which reaches those who otherwise may not be exposed to the health and wellness benefits of Yoga. We look forward to a great turnout!”
More than 200 events worldwide have been coordinated by Yoga Aid, an international non-profit that supports humanitarian charities and cultivates an attitude of ‘giving back’ in Yogis.
Says Clive Mayhew; Co-founder of Yoga Aid, “Yoga Aid World Challenges empower Yogis to leverage their own networks for the common good. We are a community which knows the great benefits of Yoga. The Yoga Aid World Challenge allows us to use Yoga as a vehicle to give to others less fortunate.”
Urban Active is encouraging all local Yogis in the area to take part in the local Yoga Aid World Challenge, a FREE community Yoga class for charity taking place on Sunday, September 9th at 4:15 PM at Urban Active Taylorsville Rd located at: 4620 Taylorsville Rd, Louisville, KY 40220.
