Global Day of Yoga for Nepal

global yoga day may 28

On May 28 a groundswell of Yogis from around the globe will help communities in Nepal by donating the proceeds from a day of yoga, in cities all over the world. What can be better then practicing together and creating great karma as we help our brothers and sisters?

GLOBAL EVENT MAY 28th Yoga studios everywhere to support survivors of the Earthquakes in Nepal.

The proceeds of the benefit yoga classes will go through 108lives.org, a project of the Three Jewels Outreach Center in NYC (501C3 non-profit), run by Hector Marcel and a core of volunteers who have developed deep relationships in Nepal since 2008 due to their tireless work in the area.

100% of all funds raised through the GLOBAL DAY OF YOGA FOR NEPAL will be used to:

  •     Fund urgent relief efforts to affected communities (mostly in remote villages far from aid).
  •      Pay for the rebuilding efforts that will come after the international disaster relief efforts have completed their work.

Background on 108 Lives Project:

108 Lives Project was started by Hector Marcel in 2008. He was alone and wandering the streets in Kathmandu when he realized how little effort it would take to make an enormous difference in some of the impoverished lives he was witnessing on the streets. He started by helping a few of the homeless beggars; 108 exactly (a sacred number); giving out toothbrushes and heartfelt smiles; making sure the blind had a hand to hold, the hungry had food and the discouraged had hope.

108 Lives project has since expanded to the original 108 families and communities in Katmandhu, remote villages in the Himalayas, and all the way to Cambodia and Australia.  Efforts include but are not limited to disaster relief, providing water, clean beds, medical clinics, education in English and hygiene (as recommended by the U.N.), clothing, food, creating opportunities for income for the homeless and much more.
