Mala Practices Mindfulness To Help Others DOVER, NH Yoga has many personal benefits, and on Sunday, March 2 these will extend to an entire community because of a Yoga Mala, taking place at the Rivermill at Dover Landing. This is the sixth annual event, where more than 200 yogis and yoga instructors from yoga studios in Maine and New Hampshire come together for three hours to practice and raise funds for local food and fuel assistance. Funds will also provide yoga scholarships to disenfranchised populations in the region. One hundred percent of donations raised from the Yoga Mala will be distributed
The sixth annual Yoga Mala brings together regional practitioners with pledges to help community non-profits (Photo courtesy Yoga on York)
to non-profit organizations. These include Seacoast Eat Local‘s SNAP campaign, which
encourages SNAP recipients to shop at farmers markets, SATYA – Seacoast Area Teach-
ers of Yoga in Action, which brings yoga to under served populations, and to three com-
munity action committees in York, Rockingham and Strafford counties for fuel assistance. Rae Lynn Stackpoole, who owns Yoga on York, a yoga studio in York is one of the founding members of Yoga Mala. She observes that the “energy and inspiration in a room full of 200 people donating their time and dedicating their energy to the cause of lifting others up is transforming.” Personal and studio pledges have been pouring in before the event, and will continue to be collected through Sunday. For more information and to make a pledge visit www.yogamala.kintera.org.
