Story

My name is James and I managed to overcome a life-threatening eating disorder with the help of the Service for High Risk Eating Disorders (SHED) based in Cardiff, S Wales. Now I want to use my skills as a yoga teacher to give back, and raise funds for their life-saving work!

-------------- --------------

To help, you can:

- DONATE to this page to support this great cause!

AND / OR

- get your 'asana' in gear & COME to my pop-up yoga class, 'Yoga Against Eating Disorders' on Saturday 12th August from 2-3.30pm in St Teilo's Church & Arts Centre, Woodville Road, Cardiff.

-------------- --------------

The class is being offered for FREE, but all donations big and small will go towards supporting the work of SHED. Expect dynamic yoga sequences suitable for all levels set to an eclectic soundrack within a really unique setting.

Vegan cakes and refreshments will be available afterwards to re-energise and leave you feeling good, knowing you've helped an extremely important cause and your own phsyical and mental health.

[NB: bring your own mat for guaranteed comfort - very limited numbers of mats will be available to borrow]

-------------- --------------

On behalf of SHED, myself, and all those struggling with eating disorders, THANK YOU for your support!

Following an AMAZING response, I have upped the target for my fundraising event teaching yoga in aid of eating disorders! Including money raised on the day I am sure that this new goal can also be smashed! Thanks so much to all those who have supported this venture so far - it will make a lifesaving difference X

YES! I was gutted to postpone because of a broken toe, but now I have a new date for my fundraising yoga class for eating disorders services. See you there on Saturday 12th August, same time and same place! (2-3.30pm in St Teilo's Church & Arts Centre, Woodville Road, Cardiff). If you can't be there there is all the more time now to help spread the word, invite friends and DONATE towards LIFE-SAVING work! X

--- URGENT UPDATE! EVENT POSTPONED --- I'm so sorry, but the event has to be postponed because I have (very painfully) broken my toe! It absolutely WILL be going ahead, but in August. I will update with the new date ASAP - the venue will stay the same. In the interim, there is all the more time to raise more awareness and much-needed funds for the eating disorders service! Thanks so much to all those who have supported and donated so far - I am determined to overcome this obstacle and smash my target and make the event a great success!
