And if you don’t speak yogi, “asana” means “yoga pose”. Yoga humor, it is what it is…
The time has arrived. The yogathon is here and the schedule of events during my 24 hour yoga immersion starts at 9am on Saturday and runs until 9am on Sunday.
I am very proud of my donation contribution in the amount of $1400! Thank you to all who donated from the bottom of my heart. Not only did you donate your dollars to the amazing work of Habitat for Humanity, but you donated your dollars to support me. That means a lot. A *lot*. Thank you.
Thankfully, there are many things planned during the 24 hours other than Asana practice (which is the physical side of practicing yoga), but I will indeed do *six* physical classes.
Here’s what I get to do, hour by hour…
9 – 11am: Asana with Anthony & Rebecca (a fave teacher of mine & his wife)
11am – 12:30pm: Asana with Noah Maze (a teacher I’ve always wanted to try)
12:30 – 2pm: Lunch, donated by Tender Greens
2 – 3pm: A talk with a Habitat house recipient
3 – 5pm: Thai Yoga Massage (??, but sounds cool)
5 – 6:30pm: Asana with Tony Giuliano (also a yogathon participant)
6:30 – 8:30pm: Dinner, donated by Great India Cafe & Govindas Massage
8:30 – 10:30pm: Restorative Yoga with Sharon Skok (restful asanas only)
10:30pm – 12am: Drum Circle (*guests invited to attend!*)
12 – 2am: Musical guest, Kirtan
2:30 – 3am: Yoga Comedy (yogis can make fun of themselves!)
3 – 5am: Meditation & Asana with Kristopher Nelson
5 – 5:30am: Sunrise Comedy (at this point I believe the sun will be funny)
5:30 – 7:30: Asana with Anthony (again!)
7:30 – 8am: Breakfast, donated by Beverly Hills Juice & The Bagel Broker
8 – 9am: Closing with Habitat rep & presentation of Ceremonial Check!
What I expect is that I will start out looking something like this (Side Crane Pose):

And end up looking something like this:

I’ll see you on the other side, where I will post photos, stories and learnings from my experience!
Namaste.
