Yoga Graffiti Contest Update

What should you do with procrastination?

… put it off of course!

Ever wanted a second chance?  Often wish you had more time?  Well you asked for it and the way the Universe works is “ask and you shall receive!”  Sometimes we ask and we don’t get it, but sometimes if we keep asking, She may just answer.  

Many have asked if they could submit their photo after the 25th because they were going on this “big” trip and wanted a good photo op, so I am extending the Yoga Graffiti contest til June 30th. Please, please, please submit your photos and donations by midnight June 30th. If you don’t have a pic by June 30th, please consider donating to this amazing charity, Africa Yoga Project (AYP).  They are living and sharing the true essence of yoga and transforming lives like magic.  I can only imagine the impact that I would be able to make on my own but the Africa Yoga Project has united so many people together and have really shown the world what a great difference we can make if we all did a little bit to help out. Within a month of announcing their new project for July, AYP has raised about $17,239 of the $50,000 needed for their July programs.

Here’s the amazing work they’ve done so far and the contribution of two amazing Kenyan teachers who’ve benefited from the program.  AYP’s 43 teachers reach over 2300! that’s 2300! people each week.  I’d say that’s incredible!!!

Send in your pictures and donation to snikkin@yahoo.com no later than June 30th
