Yoga Aid Challenge 2011 - can we beat the $80,000 raised for Barnardos Australia in 2010?

We need your help!

Join Barnardos Australia Ambassadors Craig Foster and Brett Kirk and support, fundraise and enjoy yoga this November.

Even if you have never done yoga, everyone is invited to complete a two hour yoga workout in the annual Yoga Aid Challenge held around the country 12 or 13 November, whilst raising funds to help break the tragic cycle of child abuse and neglect.

Last year the Yoga Aid Challenge broke the one million dollar mark in funds raised for charity. The best yet since it’s inception four years ago! Yoga Aid is an international event promoting the awareness of yoga in the community whilst raising money for local charities, of which Barnardos Australia is one.

It’s FREE to join in the fun. Why? Because Yoga Aid believe that if they don’t charge you to participate, then the fundraising dollar can go further for the event charity partners.

Regardless of where you live or your level of yoga, there will probably be a Yoga Aid event near you. Get your family and friends and get to the Yoga Aid event nearest to you.

“All levels of experience are welcome to join in. The various yoga teachers put you through your paces-if you’re really fit they say it can be as gruelling as running the half marathon!” said Bill Petch, Barnardos Australia, Marketing Manager.

“We would like to thank Yoga Aid for again choosing Barnardos Australia as a beneficiary of this unique event,” added Bill. “We encourage everyone to get out and enjoy one of the days and use the power of yoga to create a positive change and help give some of Australia’s most disadvantaged children a brighter future."
