INTERNATIONAL FREE
YOGA DAY
SATURDAY MARCH 14 2009
A day to
celebrate Yoga and Health
in the name
of Generosity and
Love.
Mission:
To have
every Yoga Centre in the World
open their doors
to the community and teach Yoga for free on March 14 2009.
Motive:
Many
people have felt intimidated about trying Yoga for the first
time;
many people
have tried Yoga but seen it slip away;
and many just can’t afford to go to Yoga
classes.
These people
may be likely to stay outside of
Yoga centres –
they may even move further away from making
Health a significant part of their lives.
But…if
we
all (passionate about spreading Yoga
in our own individual
ways), unite to
promote
Yoga throughout the community as a Positive location
for new
possibilities in people’s lives –
if we stand
as a Yoga of Oneness, Generosity,
and Love –
some people
may actually take that idea and give it a try.
Perhaps
this may make a difference.
Method:
Free Yoga Day will be held on March 14 2009.
Participating schools will teach
classes on this day for no fee.
Also, this Year, teachers are encouraged to branch out
and teach at local schools, community centres,
kindergartens, parks...
Should anyone choose to participate,
it would be great if they register to be listed
on the website - and form a Community of Yoga Teachers
It would also be great if they promote it throughout their local region.
*
This website
will be
the hub
for all participation, information, promotion, and
organisation.
All
participating centres will be listed,
and interested people can look on this
site
to find such centres to attend on the big day.
Each centre will be responsible for gaining media
awareness.
The more one puts in, the more one can get out.
Flyer boards, community boards, supermarkets,
local radio, local newspapers, and flyer drops...
Last year some people really got motivated,
and were well-rewarded with great exposure.
Their centres were well-publicised,
as much as Yoga was.
Please help as much as you can. The more Promo, the better!
Good
Will, Unconditional Love, Non-Expectation, and Positivity,
will be the Themes
and Methods of this Project and its organisation.
Projected Benefits:
For
the Community:
Public
awareness about Yoga will be increased,
people will be reminded of the Yoga
presence,
and many not prone to do so may spend at least one day
meditating,
stretching and cleaning their bodies, relaxing and letting go,
in a calm and
Non-judgemental environment.
For the Yoga
Centre/Teacher
Participants:
Their
centre will gain local promotion,
old students may return, new students may
arrive,
and the aspects of personal Karma
and Bhakti will be further
developed.
As a Universal/International event,
Free Yoga Day will boost the image of Yoga
and
provide a boost for the Yoga industry.
Also, Fun
may be had, and Love generated.

*Promotion*
All
participating centres/teachers will count
attendance
numbers and declare their Totals.
The
intent is to achieve a Guinness World Record. |
