The 4th Annual Peace by Peace Yogathon

The Peace by Peace Yogathon is a national collaborative fundraiser supporting grassroots, yoga-based nonprofits throughout the United States. These amazing organizations are working to extend the reach of yoga into the most disadvantaged sections of society including shelters for abused children, the homeless, and domestic violence victims as well as HIV clinics, prisons, and addiction recovery centers. But they can't do it without your help!

This July we invite you to join yogis from across the country and challenge yourself to practice as much yoga as you can for one month through the Peace by Peace Yogathon. Upon registering you will receive your own personal online fundraising page through which your friends and family can support your effort. As they pledge a small dollar amount for each class you take, you will in turn support your own personal growth as well as the growth of so many others in need of the healing gifts of yoga. Each dollar you raise will be used to support the nonprofit of your choice. It's that simple!
