DOWNTOWN YOGA TO DONATE FULL DAY OF FUNDS TO HEART WALK FOUNDATION

Downtown Yoga in St. George will open its doors Saturday, Jan. 25th, at 9 a.m., to its third annual Yoga Day fundraiser. With one-hour classes running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. by donation, proceeds of the day will be donated to Heart Walk Foundation.

The goal of the event is to fund construction of a full greenhouse for the Q'ero tribe of the Andes Mountains in Peru, part of Heart Walk Foundation’s Grow a Mountain Garden campaign. The cost of each greenhouse is $508.

"We love that Heart Walk Foundation is a local charity that has gone global,” said Rebecca Dalley, a Downtown Yoga owner. “The greenhouse project is an amazing endeavor and we are excited to help support it."

Some of the classes offered include Hatha Yoga, Kundalini, Yoga for Balance, and Singing Meditation Bowls. Dalley will also be giving an informative lecture on a 14-day yoga detox. The lecture will begin at noon.

Dalley says that through practicing yoga one can gain increased strength, balance, and a calmer, more focused mind.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to do something good for yourself while helping the Q'ero people to grow leafy green vegetables to add to their diet of potatoes,” she said. “Whether it's your first or 500th class, we hope to see you there.”

Downtown Yoga is located at 50 East Tabernacle. For more information, call (435) 703-9642. For more information about Grow A Mountain Garden, go to heartoftheandes.org.
