Yoga for Peace

With the bulk of events beginning this weekend and running into October, National Yoga Month is here!  I hope you all saw the preview posted on Grounded Fitness some weeks back and are planning to attend activities in your home cities!

One of the most worthy endeavors that I have seen posted on the site touting Yoga Month is the Israeli-Palestinian Yoga4Peace initiative.  The project focuses on trying to elevate the level of peace in the region through the increased practice of yoga.

Here’s the link to their page for more information: http://communities.yogamonth.org/kickapps/_Yoga-for-Peace-Israel-Palestine/blog/47679/15863.html 

As is often the case, they do seem to need money.  There is virtually no money to assist the Palestinian side of this effort, so anything would help.   Yoga does so much for so many, maybe it can even help promote Middle East peace ;-)

There will be a lot more coming from the month-long celebration of Yoga, so stay tuned.  Meanwhile, be sure to check out all the features and stories at www.yogamonth.org.
