Welcome

The United Nations estimates that more than 21 million people are injured or homeless as a result of the flooding, exceeding the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. At one point, approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's total land area was underwater due to the flooding.

It's time to stop sitting on our butts watching TV in our warm, dry houses. It's time to take action.

Join us for an afternoon and evening of Community Compassion in Action with yoga, dance, massage and more at The Yoga Shala next Saturday, October 2nd from 4pm onward. See you there!

Let's Get Moving!

More than 6 million people have been affected and over 1,600 have been killed by the floods in Pakistan to date. It is feared that the death toll will rise as continuing rains increase the threat of more flooding and the spread of waterborne diseases such as dysentery, diarrhea and cholera begins.

Until October 3rd, donations will be doubled by the Canadian Government under the Pakistan Floods Relief Fund. So, members of Victoria's Yoga, Dance and Healing Communities are getting together to enjoy moving our bodies, and to celebrate active compassion by raising funds. To be sure our money will get to where it's needed, we are donating to Canadian Medical Assistance Teams. http://www.canadianmedicalteams.org

So, let's get moving! Join us on Saturday October 2nd for Partner/Acro Yoga, Groove Method Fitness, try some body-soothing Thai Massage, and dance to the chllin' tunes of DJ Sylvain till late. There will be a silent auction including bodywork, sessions of classes, personalized yoga, and tons of other cool stuff. Opportunities for chair massage throughout, along with delicious treats and chai, open hearts, love and laughter.

Let's get our bodies and our community moving to help the people of Pakistan!
