Los Angeles Rocks! Operation Shanti

Join Los Angeles-based yoga teacher Garth Hewitt for his third fund-raising event to help Operation Shanti build a new orphanage in Mysore, India. The donation-based yoga class will be held on September 17th from 3-5pm; all levels are welcome! After Party with a DJ, food, and an auction to follow, from 6-8pm.

Please pre-register for this event by signing up at garthhewittyoga.com or www.facebook.com/LARocksOperationShanti.

Operation Shanti's Mission is...

To directly improve the lives of exploited, at-risk, destitute children and the forgotten, suffering elderly, enabling them to become "beacons of light" and share the same gifts of peace, goodwill, and generosity with others for the rest of their lifetimes.

We help the poorest and neediest children and elderly, and the forgotten destitute, with the basic human needs: food, shelter, medical services and educational assistance. As we believe that every human can and should stand on his/her own, we are there to help the destitute begin to help themselves.

Are Yoga Poses Ancient History?

LA Yoga Magazine and Manduka Ambassador Jill Miller invite you to an empowering and educational evening with Yogic Scholar Mark Singleton.
It's often said that yoga is a 5000 year old tradition from India. But what about the practices we do today? Is there really a direct link to the ancient past, or is the story more complicated? Today yoga is virtually synonymous in the West with the practice of āsana. What can we learn from the modern
history of āsana? And what does it mean for our practice today? Come along and find out what the debate is all about.

When: March 18, 2011; 7:45pm-10:30pm

Where: YogaWorks Main Street
