Sometimes it's impossible not to feel an overwhelming sense of helplessness when devastating events take place such as the series of Earthquakes hitting Syria and Turkey. Feeling sorry and a sinking sense of despair and sorrow for those involved, just doesn't seem enough. But we can do things, including keeping the topic in the air so those aware feel loved and held by the wider community, and even more importantly doing something practical to help survivors.
Coming together as a community helps to hold each other, those in our neighbourhoods with families and friends caught up in the disaster, as well as the many, many unknown who need urgent and ongoing support.
Many of the studios I teach at are holding events to raise awareness and money. Myself and fellow ARC teacher Joelle Green are holding a Flow and Song event aiming to raise funds to help those whose In Turkey and Syria whose lives have been devastated by the recent earthquakes.Join us for an evening of gently flowing yoga and Kirtan, raising our hearts and voices as well as funds for those who have lost family, friends, homes and livelihoods. With more than 40,000 deaths and numbers still rising, it's the least we can do.
We are supporting the DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) to help survivors with clean water, food, shelter and medical treatment.
Come join the community Saturday March 4th, 6.30pm-8pm at Yoga At The Arc at the Angel, Islington, London.
We start with centring breathing practice, move through a gentle, heart focused flow with me, before being lead through a Kirtan session of songs and chants lead by Joelle Green and her harmonium.
All levels welcome. Saturday March 4th 6.30pm-8pm, sliding scale donations
