A friend introduced me something called the Power of Movement. It's a yoga challenge to raise money and awareness for arthritis research and other autoimmune diseases. It was started by a woman in Toronto in 2005 and is now an event across Canada. This year I'll be participating in the event in Halifax on February 27 and I'm really really excited about it. I'm excited to do a mass-group yoga class. I'm excited to be part of something that contributes to, and supports movement and awareness. I'm excited to be a part of something bigger than myself. It feels really great. I've given myself one month to raise $200 and I'm blown away by the fact that I think I've raised pretty much that in ONE DAY. My friends and family are awesome. Great job everybody.
I posted this video a few months ago, but in the spirit of things I thought I would re-post because she's awesome and inspirational and great. Namaste.
