My story

Hi All,
I am participating in the Yogathon a charity event that takes place on Sat, 30 Oct in London Olympia. The idea is to take the challenge in doing 108 sun salutations in 2 hours! If I am able to raise fund from this event, 100% of the money will then be given as donation to Born Free Foundation, a non-profit organization who prevents animal suffering, protects threatened species and keeps wildlife in the wild. Participating in Yogathon charity event is a wonderful way to contribute to something that I care about through something that I love doing.

Why do I choose animal protection as my cause?
In a diving trip I have had recently, there was a coffee break session in a  remote beach and I bumped into a dead body of a shark whose all fins were mutilated. It is not only heartbreaking to witness once a beautiful animal in such a sad condition, but it was also an eye opener that the problem is real.

On a personal level, some of you might know that I have just undergone a major surgery 3 months ago and I am still not too sure how far I would be able to keep up with this challenge. Since a month ago when my doctor gave a nod that it is now safe for me to start doing a bit of exercise, i have slowly started to practice some sun salutations in the morning and a little bit more in weekends. I still feel it a bit tough but at the same time I find the practice as a good mean to support my recovery process. Still, I am a bit nervous about Saturday, so wish me luck.....! :)

Thank you so much for your support,
Nadia.
