9/7/08 - Yoga Month NYC event

I am forwarding this on on behalf of the NY Coordinator. Please consider joining us there.

*****************************************************************

New York City Yogis and Yoginis:
National Yoga Month is here!

For over a year, we have been working on the awareness campaign and the 10 City Yoga Health Festival Tour. In honor of our efforts, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion deemed September National Yoga Month and has listed it as an official observance at www.healthfinder.gov. We finally have a month to celebrate the practice we all love and hold dear to our hearts! What can you do to ensure everyone knows about Yoga Month and its mission to take yoga and preventative health care to the masses?


1) Volunteer for the upcoming NYC Yoga Month Health Festival at the Metropolitan on September 7. This is your day to celebrate and fellowship with those who embrace the healing and transformative benefits of yoga. The festival will feature yoga masters, respected health practitioners, soul-stirring musicians and a kids zone to enrich the lives of youth. We will need volunteers to cover various shifts throughout the day; however, you will have time to visit vendor booths, hear lectures, and participate in workshops of your choosing.

We need volunteers out NOW spreading the word! Currently, we only have 2 or 3 volunteers covering the city with flyers and postcards. We need more of you! Please help us get the word out by flyering the city and alerting media to the Yoga Month NYC festival. Help us bring people to an event that will enhance their overall quality of life while paying homage to an observance destined to change the way the world views yoga and its health benefits.

2) Contact youth organizations in the area and tell them about Yoga Month and the festival at the Metropolitan. Free passes will be available for all youth.

3) Blog, send out email blasts to your friends, and utilize any other method you have available to pack the house at the Metropolitan.

4) If you are an instructor, get your students on board to attend the festival. Group discount passes are available for teams of 10 or more.

We are in the eleventh hour and we need your help. Please email Karen to let her know if you can do anything, no matter how large or small, to help make the first annual National Yoga Month Festival a success in your city. We look forward to your response and continued support.

Sincerely,

The Yoga Month Team
