21st of January 2007 - World Yoga Day
On Sunday the 21st of January 2007, yoga teachers and schools around the world will donate their time and space to a two hour yoga session which is devoted to human rights. http://www.world-yoga-day.net/ The class should be held from 11AM - 1PM sharp, local time in each time zone, which will lead to a 24 hour yoga marathon around the world. Devoting our thoughts and energy globally to the human rights issue will generate a powerful impact. Students attending the event will donate whatever tuition they can afford. All contributions are welcome and also students who can't pay at all – the money is important to help victims of human right violation but so is the spirit. We love to see yogis from all styles participate in this wonderful event whether Iyengar, Bikram, Anusara, Ashtanga, Laughter Yoga…at the heart of any yoga style stands the union. Bringing all yogis worldwide together to devote their practice to this important cause will be a wonderful, spirited celebration of yoga. Our aim is that as many nations as possible come together on this project, especially countries where human rights violation is a more dominant issue. Joining us is easy. So just get started. As a teacher/studio As a participating teacher or studio you probably know best how to go about organizing the session, however here are some suggestions on our part: 1. Make this event known to your students as soon as possible. Mention it in class, put up a sign on the board, have a few flyers ready. If you don't have the means to produce flyers, here's something: We have thought about this and have produced some templates for you to download and either put the ads on your website or have them printed as little postcard flyers or posters. If you are interested to spread the word, just visit our download center. 2. Encourage your students to decide now, if they are planning on coming or not. Depending on the numbers you can make sure you have a space big enough to accommodate everyone. Naturally not everyone will decide now, some people will commit and not come, other will spontaneously decide to come at the last minute. But if you communicate the importance to having a rough idea about attendance number people tend to be more mindful. 3. Do encourage your students to bring anyone they know along – yogi or not – to come and join the practice. This is a wonderful way to start the x-mas session for everyone. 4. Spread the word to all the yoga teachers and studios you know. This action is about joining in and forming a union. The more we are the bigger the impact. 5. After World Yoga Day all Teachers will place the donations in an account for Medica Mondiale/World Yoga Day. This account will be solely for this purpose so we easily see how much money we raised exactly. The account details will be announced on this website, shortly. Medica Mondiale will use the money to help women and girls in Afghanistan. All details about the actions taken and the money spend will be published on this website and regularly updated. 6. And last but not least: join now by filling out registration form under Join us. Under Who's in you can see who you are joining. http://www.world-yoga-day.net/ |
