Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I felt inspired and moved by the work that ERASE have been doing to support the Fulakunda Orphanage in Gambia and wanted to do something to help. I have a passion for yoga, so I thought a Yogathon would be a great and fun way of raising money for them. Please carry on reading to find out more about the day.

Fulakunda Orphanage in Gambia & the Little Angels Orphanage in South Africa

 

Led by some of UK’s most innovative yoga teachers, Pablo Imani & Howard Napper, the African Orphanage Yogathon 2014 promises to be a treat for enthusiasts and beginners alike. The day will be filled with live African music, fun and laughter.  So, come along, do some yoga, have fun and raise money for a great cause all at the same time!

• Each session will be 2 hours long and led by a different teacher.
• You can choose to stay for the whole day or pop in for a few hours and come back later on in the day - but you will need to pay another £20.00 donation for re-entry.
• Free registration if you raise £100.00 or more in sponsorship
• Yoga mats and water will be provided
• Talking of giving, how about bringing some vegetarian/vegan food to share with your fellow yogis on the day? Plates and cutlery will be provided.
