As teachers in the yoga community not only in California, but throughout the world, we take great responsibility in bringing yoga to others and helping them grow in their practice not only physically, but mentally, spiritually as well. As compassionate teachers and people who want to make the world a better place, we always enjoy giving back to the community by giving a portion of our proceeds to a charity. We believe that by helping others, we create a happier, healthier and more peaceful world to live in and be a part of.
For our 2017 yoga retreats we have chosen Waves for Water whose mission is simple: To get clean water to every single person who needs it. As yogis and promoters of living a healthy lifestyle, we know better than anyone that drinking enough, and quality, water is imperative for having a healthy body and feeling your best. People living in impoverished areas die every day from drinking dirty water. While having access to clean water is a luxury that many of us take for granted, there are millions living in nations with no filtration systems in place. Kids drink from the same streams where animals bathe. In addition, there’s no clean water available for surgery if someone is injured, putting the wounded at risk of deathly infections. By donating to this incredible organization, we hope to aid them in raising funds for their cause and help to provide healthy drinking water to people around the world in need.
