Please Join LivYoga as our community participates

in Global Mala, Sunday, September 21, 2008.

LivYoga is happy to be participating in the Global Mala Project again this year in celebration of our Fall Equinox and the important UN International Day of Peace. Global Mala, conceived by Shiva Rea is without a doubt, "the largest unified worldwide yoga event dedicated to positive change in the history of the planet." Global Mala is a gathering of 1000s of yogis and yoginis from around the globe, with the intention of rising to PEACE IN ACTION! as well as raising awareness and funds for important worldwide, national and local issues going including: global warming, AIDS prevention, poverty and war. This year, Global Mala has partnered with Yoga Health Foundation, making this effort even stronger.

In NJ, there are 18 yoga centers participating and growing and each yoga center has selected causes that are close to their heart for this year. LivYoga has selected two:

LivYoga Outreach—a new and exciting non-profit being developed to help bring yoga to people in need in our community. It warms our heart to be able to bring the wonderful gifts of yoga to so many people. e.g. battered women’s organizations, prisons, homeless shelters

All Stars Project/Flamm Center—All Stars Project is an organization that helps less fortunate kids get on their feet, priming them to be ready for the world at large including getting them ready for college. The Flamm Center is named after a local resident, Scott Flamm who passed away at 50 and was quite involved. The 15,000 sq. ft Flamm Center in Newark will be a “the hub for an expanding bridge between New Jersey’s poorest young people and a broad and diverse community of caring adults from suburban and corporate New Jersey.” www.allstars.org/flamm_center.html

You have a wonderful opportunity this year to participate in either of these PEACE WAVES happening on September 21, 2008.
