MAGICAL YOGA MALA :: SUNDAY JUNE 26


We will be hosting a Magical Yoga Mala (108 Sun Salutations) under the pavilion at Durham Central Park beginning at 6:00 pm on Sunday, June 26th, 2016. Come join us to do some yoga, raise some money, and have some fun! Yoga, live music, awesome food & beer... The best way to kick off summer! 

All proceeds will benefit LiveGlobally, a Durham-based 501c3, committed to creating a peaceful planet through mindful living. Please scroll down (or click on the video above) to learn more about what LiveGlobally does.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Well, you have three options: 
1. Donate. Simply click on the "Make A Donation" button at the top right corner of this page. Or sponsor one of the fundraisers at the bottom of this page (just click on their name). You're awesome!
2. Participate. Show up for the mala, drop some money in the donation jar, roll out your yoga mat, and kick a**. Hang out afterward, buy a couple of beers and some vegetarian food, and support LiveGlobally through every penny you spend! You can sign up for the mala and pre-donate here. You're extra awesome!
3. Fundraise. Commit yourself to participating in the Mala by signing up as a Fundraiser, and then ask your friends/family/neighbors/employer/local businesses/random strangers to sponsor you. The best part... you can win prizes! And free food & drinks! Simply click on the "Click Here To Become A Fundraiser". You're extra-super-awesome!

I WANT TO BECOME A FUNDRAISER. WHAT DO I SAY TO PEOPLE WHEN I ASK THEM TO SPONSOR ME?

Tell them you are doing this crazy thing (108 sun salutations... pfff...) for a good cause. All the money goes to LiveGlobally. You're supporting building a school in Kenya, fostering orphaned baby elephants, helping local musicians record music, providing sanitary products for women in Africa, offering yoga & mindfulness in the NC prison system, and much more. Tell people they can sponsor you for a certain amount ($0.10, $0.25, $0.50, etc) per sun salutation. All you have to do is click on the "Click Here To Become A Fundraiser" button, take a moment to set up your page, and then invite everyone you know to show you how much they love you. Your personal Fundraiser page will have a "Make a Donation" button. When someone clicks on that, they can choose the amount they want to sponsor you for per sun salutation (or they can pick their own amount).

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

If you sign up as a fundraiser, you can get some cool stuff:
- Raise at least $50, and you get 1 free drink ticket + 1 free food ticket. 
- Raise at least $100, and you get 3 free drink tickets + 3 free food tickets.

And we have prizes! Yes, prizes! These are the rewards for our top 5 fundraisers:

1. Unlimited 3-month class pass to Global Breath Studio ($400 value). Take as many classes as you want. Over 20 different classes offered weekly, from restorative to athletic, and weekly meditation.

2. Complimentary initial individual wellness consultation with The Natural Medicine Doctor ($295 value). Renowned expert in longevity hotspots and the world's healthiest people, Dr. Werness provides a blueprint for clients to create health in their lives using the healing attributes of natural medicine.

3. Private consultation and yoga therapy session with Nina Be ($150 value).

4. Unlimited 1-month class pass to Global Breath Studio ($150 value). Like the 3 month pass above. Except 1 month. Obviously.

5. Eco Yoga Mat + cool carrier bag ($90 value). It's a yoga mat. And a bag. Which is cool. 

I JUST WANT TO SPONSOR SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY FUNDRAISING. HOW DO I DO THAT?

Awesome! Simply look for their name in the Fundraisers section, click, and decide how much you would like to sponsor them for. Remember that all money raised goes directly to LiveGlobally.  

WHAT WILL THIS MALA EVENING LOOK LIKE?

At about 6 pm on June 26 we will roll out our mats under the shelter at Durham Central Park. If the weather is good you can be in the grass. We'll practice 108 sun salutations together, in 4 sets of 27. Teachers from Global Breath Studio will take turns leading sets. There will be live music by Rob C & friends. And after we're done there will be awesome local food & drink to support the global good, games, more live music, a raffle, and much more. You don't have to do any sun salutations - you can just hang out and enjoy yourself!

SO WHAT'S LIVEGLOBALLY? 

LiveGlobally was started with the intention of connecting people from around the globe to support one another on their own authentic path. Their first (and still primary) project is building and sustaining the Ingrid Education Center in the Matopeni slums of Nairobi (Kenya). It is now a proud two story school, with 12 teachers and 300 students. The students receive a uniform, shoes, one meal a day, and an education. LiveGlobally has also provided refurbished laptops to children in Africa and South America. They sponsor orphaned baby elephants at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. They offer a yoga & mindfulness program in the NC Women's Correctional Facility. They support local musicians. And lots of other stuff! Check out their website.    

ARE THESE DONATIONS SECURE?
