Yoga For Change: May 2009

Welcome to Yoga For Change!

I have signed up for Off the Mat, Into the World's 2009 Seva Challenge and have committed myself to raising $20,000 for organizations working to improve the health and education of women and children in Uganda. I have started this blog to share information on the organizations, spread the word of upcoming events and keep everyone posted on my progress towards the goal. If you are willing and able please donate now! And if you have any fundraising suggestions or would be interested in hosting an event to help spread awareness of the cause and my challenge please let me know. I know that with your support we can make a difference in thousands of lives. Thank you!

Take a look at this inspiring article from YOGA + JOYFUL LIVING that highlights how one person can make a difference as well as the accomplishments of OTM's Cambodia Seva Challenge (2008).

What is the Seva Challenge?

Seva translates to selfless service ~ the Seva challenge set forth by Off the Mat, Into the World is a call to action to yoga teachers and students. A way to take what we learn through the physical practice of yoga - focus, strength, flexibility, compassion, insight - out into the world to create postive change. The Seva challenge is a way to bring community together locally and globally.

This year the 2009 Off the Mat, Into the World Seva Challenge is focused on Uganda. The money raised through Yoga for Change will go towards building schools, community centers, birthing centers in Uganda and scholarship programs for yoga programs for at risk youth here in the US.

Off the Mat, Into the World™ is a 501(c)(3) project of the Engage Network
