On the first big snowstorm of the year, with the streets of downtown barely plowed, a capacity crowd participated for the third year of Yogis Give Back. Together, we raised almost $5,800 for Hope Center's Scholarship Fund.

David Belz (The Shop) welcomed everyone, bringing our intention and spirits together. Stephen Valdean took over with a quick Kundalini series that gave way to Adam Ballenger's (Kula Yoga Center) playful Anusara warmup. Graceful Jennifer Ellen Mueller (Flow Yoga) got us flowing and D’ana Baptiste (Centered City Yoga) channeled the flock into a torrent of strength. Jackie Young (Bikram Sandy) led the finishing Bikram poses and Charlotte Bell (Charlotte Bell Yoga) sewed it all together with a meditation and savasana. Leraine Horstmanshoff and the Band sent us off gloriously with a final kirtan.

Giving students adjustments and personal attention, expert teachers included: Al Burgess (email Al), Kim Lynn (Centered City Yoga), Christine Hasegawa (Kula Yoga Center), John Cottrell (Centered City Yoga), Linda Burbank (The Shop), Jeff Silverstein (Centered City Yoga), Lucy Dillon Kinkead (Centered City Yoga), Scott Moore (MySpace.com/ScottLeroy), Rachel Posner (Phoenix Rising Yoga), Alex Wheeler (Bikram Sandy) and Velvet Valdean.
