Yoga for Hurricane Relief

"After rain theres a rainbow, after a storm theres calm, after the night theres a morning, and after a ending theres a new beginning."

Hurricane Sandy ravaged certain parts of the New York and New Jersey areas.  Keiko went yesterday to volunteer at the Rockaways, only to find people displaced amongst the devastation and destruction.  People lost their homes, their way of life.  It's amazing to me how so much can change for some people in the matter of a week.

But as horrible as this tragedy was, what I have loved seeing in the aftermath is how amazingly the New York community has come together to help those in need.

I was reading Well and Good NYC the other day and saw that there are some yoga studios in the city that are doing ongoing charity for the hurricane victims.

Below are some of the studios listed in the article:

Pedal NYC (Upper West Side) is collecting clothing and jackets, which they’ll drop off at donation sites. www.pedalnyc.com

Through the end of the year, Sacred Sounds Yoga (Soho) is donating all proceeds from its community classes on Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m. and Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. $5, www.sacredsoundsyoga.com

The Flatiron’s Sangha House will have boxes set up to collect warm winter clothing, sheets and blankets, baby items, and non-perishable food items. www.sanghahousenyc.com

Yoga 216 (West Chelsea) will donate proceeds from weekly Win Win donation-based classes to hurricane relief efforts. Tuesdays at 2:16-3:16 p.m.,  www.yoga216.com

***If you are not in the New York area, see what you can do from your own area.  Set up a yoga class at your local studio and let the proceed go to Hurricane Sandy relief.  Any assistance helps!
