“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
― Fred Rogers
In the wake of the devastating fires that have ravaged the Los Angeles area, it is easy to feel overwhelmed with grief. Marja Lankinen & Emma Ayotte, two Down Under instructors who once called LA home, invite you to take those feelings & turn them into mutual aid.
This 75-minute class will begin with a flow led by Marja, aimed to take tough feelings & move them through the body. Afterwards, Emma will lead a reflective, grounding restorative portion of class to help nurture the nervous system.
Pay what you can and all proceeds will be split evenly and sent directly to the Pasadena Humane Society and Children’s Books for Altadena’s Displaced Children.
We are all we’ve got, so let’s come together for those in need across the country.
Cost: Sliding Scale Donations from $20-$200
Yoga mats are available to rent in studio for $3
