Yoga for Food - Free Yoga Class

Free Yoga Class

Karma yoga is about giving back to the community in which you serve. What are you giving back to your community? During these times of hardships Sanctuary Church has opened their doors to provide food for anyone who needs it, with a local Food Bank. During the holiday months coming, food banks end up having a lot of shortages on food. This is a great opportunity for all of us to give back locally.


To help bring this awareness to our community, I have decided to teach a Yoga for Food class at Bally Total Fitness, in Fairview. This does not cost money, but it does cost food. Any kind of nonperishable food is all it takes to attend this class.


If Yoga is not your thing, but you would still like to help, please come by Bally Total Fitness in Fairview and donate what you can. You can also help by spreading the word about what we are doing, advertising is not cheap, and takes a lot of time to let everyone know what's going on, if you know someone who would enjoy this Yoga class, please tell them about this event. Every little bit helps get food into mouths of those who need it.

1415 NE 223rd, Fairview, Oregon 97024 (across the street from the old Greyhound Track)

Ideas for nonperishable foods:

• 2 cans of canned food (soup, chicken, tuna, beans, vegetables, fruits. etc.)
• A box of dry food (something simple, most people needing food do not have a lot of resources to make meals.)
• Snacks: Pudding cups (great for kids), trail mix, dried fruits.
• Dehydrated foods found at local camping stores or army surplus stores
• Basic Essentials: Salt, Pepper, Flour, Sugar, crackers, cereals, powdered milk, bottled water. peanut butter, oatmeal, dry pasta.
