Yogathon for Charity at Desa Seni
this Saturday March 19th – don’t miss it!
Dear yoga community,
Desa Seni is thrilled to be partnered with the BaliSpirit Festival this year.
In the same spirit that has so brilliantly emanated from the BaliSpirit Festival, celebrating the art and life of Bali and the unity of the yogic community, Desa Seni has decided to host a pre-Festival Yoga Thon with all proceeds going to the Festival’s annual Outreach program.
The event takes place Saturday March 19, from 8am to 8pm at Desa Seni, in Canggu.
An idea that originated in the USA, a Yogathon is a concept wherein participants get sponsorship in order to support themselves in this challenge of endurance to support a cause. While other a-thons have been 24 hours, the assumption is that a 12 hour a thon will be sufficiently huge for Bali. Participants can come to all twelve hours, or opt for parts, or teams of participants can come under one sponsorship banner.
The format is amazing for showcasing a variety of teachers, teaching styles, as well as music, dance and other forms of yoga! Desa Seni will also be providing a great organic lunch and healthful juices throughout the day, complimentary for everyone participating. See the Yogathon teachers and class description here.(pdf)
If you would like to sponsor yourself or a friend in this Yogathon, or forward this email out so that a friend sponsors you, all you will need to do is make a safe and secure contribution via paypal with a message saying:
I am XXX sponsoring XXXX for the March 19 Yogathon. Please give what you can afford, $50, $100 or only $20! You can make contributions to howard{at}desaseni.com.
All proceeds will go to benefit “Ayo Kita Bicara HIV/AIDS” outreach campaign, you can find more information here: http://www.balispiritfestival.com/community-outreach.html.
For more information on the Yogathon, email howard@desaseni.com.

2011 retreat dates:
6 - 12 June,
26 September - 2 October (before Ubud Writers’ festival)
A moment breathed deeply, imprints the soul with its colours......
Yoga and more... The Senses & Stillness fusion of yoga, imagery, creative writing, and Balinese culture, creates a unique expansive experience which deepens an awareness of the self and our connection to others and the beauty of every moment...
Expanding on a daily yoga foundation, the meditative powers through the senses, draws us into the discovery of every moment... Vijoleta’s style of yoga teaching quietens the competitive ‘I’ and draws together the breath, body, mind and spirit. Imagery holds the moment, and writing discovers the beauty from deep within, and throughout the experience is the connecting thread of the Balinese people and culture...
An internationally accredited yoga teacher, Vijoleta has a PhD in science, and diverse background in innovation and catalytic creativity and transformations. She spends 3-4 months a year in Bali teaching yoga and English, and the profits from her retreats are used to seed local Balinese projects.
Open to a deeper sense of presence, joy, stillness, and wonder, and unfold within that special place which is Bali... A retreat experience unlike any other!
