Yogis for Peace Reach for Oxfam
As if being twisted up like a pretzel while standing on one leg is not challenging enough, imagine fighting for world peace at the same time! That’s just what Yogis for Peace did on April 13th, when 40 yoga studios in the San Francisco Bay Area conducted a day of meditation, reflection, and yoga in response to the war in Iraq. Many studios offered free classes; in return, students were encouraged to send donations to Oxfam America. Altogether, Yogis for Peace raised over $6,000 for our humanitarian relief work in Iraq. Now that's what we call bending over backwards for Oxfam!
