NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS TO TEACH FREE YOGA AND MEDITATION CLASSES
 
 
Four experienced yoga instructors from New York City will be in New
Orleans
May 11-17, 2008 to offer free yoga and mediation classes to Hurricane
Katrina survivors. Allison Bridges, Jagadisa-Devasri Dacus, Geoff Devaul
and
Jhon Tamayo will teach general yoga postures, as well as meditation and
relaxation techniques. The classes are intended for both beginners and
those
with some yoga experience. There will also be Therapeutic Yoga sessions
for
people with injuries and/or physical limitations, and fun "Yoga for
Kids"
classes as well. 
 
This Volunteer Service Project is being coordinated by Katie McConnell
and
is part of a collaboration with 2 local yoga centers (Wild Lotus Yoga
and
Swan Yoga) who will continue to make yoga resources and outreach
services
available to the community over the long-term.
