Yoga Day USA is sponsored by Yoga Alliance. A non-profit professional organization, Yoga Alliance is the leader in setting
educational standards for yoga teachers and schools. Sponsors for Yoga Day USA also include Yoga Journal, Hugger Mugger,
Gaiam Inc., Wellness Business Systems, Yoga Plus Joyful Living, Body and Soul.
Corpus Christi's Second Annual Yoga Day USA was a great success! I want to give a
big THANK YOU to our wonderful participating studios Angel Light Yoga & Wellness
Center, Crossroads Yoga, and Yoga Studio of Corpus Christi. These three studios
joined efforts this year to host a total of 18 workshops; that is double our workshops
from last year! With over 145 participants from all over the Coastal Bend area.
Each studio, in conjunction with Yoga Day USA, chose a particular charity that each has
been affiliated with to raise funds for. Donations were accepted at each studio as well
as at our evening's closing events as part of our raffle; with gift baskets generously
donated by several local businesses. So far we have raised a total of $255 that will be
donated to these three charities: The Women's Shelter of the Coastal Bend, Corpus
Christi Drug and Rehab Center, and Family Outreach.
Yoga Day USA may be over, but the raffle has been extended through to the end of the
month. If you would like to enter for a chance to win one of 5 gift baskets totalling
more than $650 in donated items, visit the ladies at Crossroads Yoga where you can
view the prizes and purchase your tickets.
I would also like to thank all the wonderful individuals and businesses that sponsored
this event. Either through personal effort and time or by donated services and goods,
your help was invaluable to the success of Yoga Day USA. Thank you for opening your
hearts and doors to the people of this city and helping to spread the word about yoga
and all the health related fields to improve the quality of life for our fellow citizens.

"I'm so happy to
finally be introduced
to our yoga

tried to follow yoga
on my own for
years, but I knew I
needed more.
Thank you for

our city. You guys
are great."
