Yogathon To Benefit
Underserved Groups
0
n Sept. 4, Lynn Medow will
host an all-day yogathon at
Karma Yoga in Bloomfield
Township, 3683 W. Maple at Lahser,
to launch her Yoga By Design
Foundation.
Classes go from 7 a.m.-6:30 p.m.,
and are open to all. Class fees of $15
per person will go entirely to support
the new non-profit foundation.
This fall, Medow will launch the
Yoga By Design Foundation to offer
yoga to underserved populations
including those with MS, Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's and cancer, along with res-
idents of shelters, prisons and urban/
disadvantaged communities. Her
foundation will raise money and seek
donations to flow to teachers inter-
ested in helping these populations.
"Yoga is empowerment:' says
Medow, who comes to yoga instruc-
tion after after a long career in social
services. "I feel driven to empower
each student and guide them back to
their strongest, balanced self."
Karma Yoga owner Katherine Austin
will donate her studio for the day.
"I am honored to offer Karma Yoga
to support the YBD Foundation's
birthday," says Austin. "Those who
cannot afford yoga will now have the
ability to receive its healing benefits.
Plus, Lynn Medow and I are working
together this fall to offer a new line
of therapeutic yoga classes at Karma,
in support of our community and the
goals of Lynn's foundation."
Medow has long wanted to create
a non-profit version of her business,
which would unite yoga instructors
around helping those who need it
most but cannot afford it.
"So many yoga teachers desire to
reach populations who need to learn
coping mechanisms to handle situa-
tions in their daily lives',' says Medow.
"The biggest obstacle is lack of
funding for such meaningful pro-
grams. Many organizations are aware
of the ways yoga can enhance their
constituents' lives and help people to
negotiate through challenges.
"The Yoga By Design Foundation
will raise money to fund these pro-
grams so yoga teachers can devote
their time to teaching yoga — not
search for funding."
This yogathon will be an annual
event to raise funds and build aware-
ness.
