Story
I started practising yoga 20 years ago and it has had a huge impact on my life.
I wanted to "give the gift of yoga" to others so I helped set up the Brighton Yoga Festival five years ago . I now chair the Brighton Yoga Foundation - a registered charity that aims to bring yoga to those who need it most. So we run yoga programmes for women recovering from abuse, for mental health, for schools and for stressed teenagers.
I am going to do 108 Sun Salutations (phew !) at the Float Spa on the afternoon of 24th November to raise money for these classes. Please sponsor me ! You can either sponsor a simple amount (eg £5) or an amount per sun salutation - you decide!
I reached the £200 target so I decided to extend it to £250 - then we reached that one so we raised it again to £300, then £400 so we are going for broke now and hoping to reach £500 by Saturday 24th November - please help !
