Heating it up for Haiti.. Bikram Yoga Haiti Relief Fundraiser!
A Haiti Relief Fundraiser was held at Bikram Yoga Headquarters in Los Angeles California. People turned out from all over to show their support. There was well over 100 people present at this special Bikram yoga class, taught by Rajashree Choudhury. At over 105 degrees thats one hot practice! The proceeds, 100%, will go to the children of Haiti... Rajashree will see to that. Rajashree Choudhury is a spirited, kind and compassionate woman. Her beauty runs deep. Rajashree's love for children keeps her involved in many programs. She recently worked for over 5 years with children who had cancer. Rajashree is married to Bikram Choudhury, founder of Bikram Yoga. Bikram and Rajashree have been involved in helping people change their lives for many, many years. Both Bikram and Rajashree were deeply affected when hearing about the earthquake in Haiti. They knew they needed to be involved and felt like a Yoga Relief Fundraiser would be a good way to start.
Bikram yoga is a Hatha yoga class; that consists of 26 postures, and two breathing exercises. It is an hour and a half class; that works every part of your body, inside and out. A complete body workout! The heat helps reduce injury and release toxins. Bikram studios are throughout the United States and on all continents throughout the world!
Students, visitors, and teachers all donated. The Choudhury's matched their contributions.The grand total well over 15,;000 dollars. Not bad for one studio and only one class.
The Bikram Challenge; get your yoga studio, dance studio, gym or any other group you might belong to, to hold a Haiti Relief Fundraiser. We need to keep our awareness alive. We need to find ways to contribute to the people in Haiti as well as throughout the world. There is an on going need that will continue. Every little bit can make a difference. Heat it up!
