10th Anniversary Celebration July 30 –August 3rd

“Sometimes it comes upon a generation to be great”. (Nelson Mandela)
We are that generation! (IABYT)

This 2008 Summit and Retreat celebrates our 10th Anniversary and Our Vision 20/20 by embracing the words of Nelson Mandela: “Sometimes it comes upon a generation to be great.” He continues by saying, “You could be that generation,” and we respond: “We are that generation!” This affirmation is a call to yoga teachers, students and interested folks to gather and look at the future of yoga in our communities and how it could affect generations to come.

Happy Holidays to you! Yes, the holiday season is here and sounds of joy and the spirit of giving is in the air. This is a wonderful time for you to “Give the Gift of Yoga” to a young person in need.
