Yoga for a Cause SM Charity Event Seeks to Raise Awareness for The Painted Turtle

WHO: Instructor Ryan Silvers and The Painted Turtle invite all Los Angeles yogis and locals.

WHAT: Yoga for a Cause SM will offer traditional yoga practices, and breathing and mediation exercises, that have been passed down from yogi to yogi for more than 5,000 years — taught to Silvers by his teacher from India and ancient yogis and gurus he met while traveling through the Himalayas. The class will specifically teach:

• Yoga postures to stretch the body and calm the mind.
• Energy gathering exercises - standing, gentle breathing/meditation exercises.
• Pranayama - breathing experiences that involve controlling the breath through different breathing ratios.
• Raja Yoga - traditional meditation exercises.

WHERE: Yogis Anonymous: 1221 2nd St., Santa Monica

WHEN: From 9:30-11 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25

WHY: Traditional yoga is taught very differently from how it’s learned in America, and instructor Ryan Silvers is elated to offer locals a chance to experience what he coins “the next stage of yoga.” All proceeds and donations collected at Yoga for a Cause SM benefit The Painted Turtle’s life-changing environment and authentic camp experience for children with serious medical conditions.
