108 for Africa

What would you do to make a difference in our world? How about 108 Sun Salutations to raise funds for a worthy cause?…..On Saturday, February 18th, Evolution Power Yoga and Karma Warrior Clothes will host the second annual 108 for Africa event to support the Africa Yoga Project. This year, we are also happy to introduce our first Global Celebration Party as a follow-up to the event. With your help, we can make an impact that will be felt around the globe.

Through 108 for Africa and other efforts, Evolution Power Yoga, Karma Warrior Clothes, and the Africa Yoga Project can contribute to the continued growth of yoga communities around the globe by building partnerships and programs that provide social and financial support to those in need. As of now, the Africa Yoga Project empowers over 4,000 African students per week through its programs in Kenya. In addition to providing free, empowering yoga classes to underprivileged groups, the Africa Yoga Project builds schools, funds educational programs, and provides health services to communities in Kenya. Africa Yoga Project also trains individuals to become self-sustaining leaders by providing valuable communication skills, job training, and temporary housing and food stipends.

108 for Africa is our chance to make a positive impact in the lives of both our local community and the ones affected by the Africa Yoga Project abroad. This all-day event begins with a yoga practice of 108 Sun Salutations at Evolution Power Yoga in Lancaster. Participants each fundraise to be a part of the event and come together for practice to show that together, even our smallest efforts have a big effect. Later that evening, we invite the community to join us for the Global Celebration Party to enjoy drinks, hors d’oeuvres, entertainment, and both live and silent auctions.
