Oct 1st - Yoga Potluck with Samantha Matthews

The October 1st Yoga for Good Potluck is now open for registration. Samantha Matthews will be teaching a rigorous level 3/4 class entitled "Sinking Our Roots Deep and Blossoming into Community."

The events are held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church. It is located a few blocks south of Oregon Expressway at 600 Colorado Ave. between Middlefield and Cowper. The meetings are held in the Parish Hall. The entrance to the Parish Hall is located at the "elbow" of the breezeway, next to the office. The event starts with gathering at 5:30, the opening circle at 6 followed by the yoga class. They have dinner around 7:45 and will start the improv circle at 8:30 and clean up between 9:30 and 10pm.

The suggested donation is $5-$15 per person (CASH ONLY, PLEASE), but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The reason for the range is the hope that those who can afford it will help subsidize those who can't afford to pay. The money goes to pay for the teachers, the space, and supplies. All remaining funds will be donated to a worthwhile charity, the first being GAIA, which helps AIDS orphans in Africa. To date, they have given $740 to GAIA. Once we reach $1,000, they will switch to another charity.

I just now learned about Yoga For Good and these events. I have not personally attended one of these events, but, I hope to do so real soon. Unfortunately, I can't make the October event. Samantha Matthews is an awesome teacher though and the communal nature of the event sounds very attractive to me personally.
