Illawarra International Day of Yoga

A day dedicated to enjoy Yoga in its purest form of unity, sharing and connecting aiming to promote global peace and harmony.

I will be leading Sun Salutes during Sun rise.

The United Nations started this campaign 2015 to raise global awareness of the significant benefits of practicing yoga.

Yoga for Change feels honored to host incredible speakers from Australia who highlight yoga’s holistic approach to both physical and mental well-being.

Yoga For Change was created to bring commited groups and individuals together to increase the awareness of what is critical in life regarding community, caring and the environment. Together with our foundation Caring For Life In Common we feel called to host this powerful event and carry our message into the world. Therefore all all funds raised go to The Yoga Foundation, The Eve Project and Caring For Life who try to make the world a better place using the power of yoga.
