Fundraiser for Turkey & Syria
Breathwork & Meditation Class
Online via Zoom | Friday, February 17, 12:30 CET, 2023
The news and figures coming out of Turkey and Syria are devastating. Over 23,000 people were killed and tens of thousands more were injured (and counting) in the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the region on Monday, February 6th.
Those affected are in need of humanitarian assistance, including shelter, water and sanitation, food and much more. First responders, charities, and humanitarian organizations on the ground are rescuing and providing life-saving aid to victims.
Naya Yoga is hosting an online "Breathwork & Meditation Class" to help raise funds to support the humanitarian response to the crisis.
The 30-minute online class will be held on Friday, February 17th from 12:30 to 13:00 Central European Time (CET). We will practice a series of breathing and meditation techniques to balance the nervous system, reduce stress, improve focus and work performance.
We ask that all participants donate directly to the charity or humanitarian organization of their choice supporting this crisis. You are welcome to donate as little or as much as you'd like. Please send us a proof of your donation (screenshot or email) to manuelakurkaa@nayayoga.org so that we can keep track of the total funds raised.
