Love 146 Benefit

146 Sun Salutations

We have a yoga challenge for you. You do not need to “bend yourself into a pretzel” or see how long you can hold your foot behind your head, but rather on September 26, 2010, we challenge you to complete 146 Sun Salutations.

BigFaceLove Yoga has gathered 9 teachers from various traditions and lineages to come together for this Love 146 Benefit. Each teacher will lead the participants through a unique variation of Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutation, including physical practices, breathing, music and meditation. In some yoga circles, this is done in large groups, and often as an offering of peace or unity. At this event, we will perform 146 “Sun Salutations," but do not be put off from the challenge by a physical injury or limitation. A modified sequence of Sun Salutations will be offered for those challenged by physical limitations. We will offer both versions simultaneously so that everyone may participate together.

All proceeds will go directly to Love 146. Train this summer and attempt this challenge individually or get a team together and work as a relay. Set a personal fundraising goal for yourself as well as raising awareness about child sex trafficking and promoting abolition. Ask your friends, family and co-workers to support you by making a donation and then ask your employer to match it!

Welcome to BigFaceLove Yoga

Hi there, yogis and friends! We are so happy to be launching our website, at last! We have been working on a website for several years, but finally thanks to the amazing talent of our friends, designer Shayna Blum and photographer extraordinaire, Paul Duda, we are ready to go with a beautiful website! We are so grateful to them for helping us bring our vision to reality! We hope you will be able to use our website as a resource for locating our class schedules and events, to find links to our friends, our teacher's and institutions, and as a place for you to send your friends who are just getting started. If there is anything we forgot or anything you would like to see in the future, please let us know!

We will be using the blog as a place to keep you posted on what is happening in our yoga world, in addition to being a place for us to share our views on different aspects of yoga philosophy and practice. Most importantly, we hope that it will be a place for us and you all to share the everyday challenges that we face as human beings who also happen to be walking this path of yoga. So please get involved, we would love to hear from you. We now have this amazing community, also known as "sangha", that Bill along with all of you have helped to create. Please feel free to share, anything at all, it does not have to have anything to do with yoga. Please see it as a place for you to connect with other like-minded folks in your community, a place to let each other know what is happening and what you care about, so that we can all come together and support each other.
