Temecula Yogis Give Back, Raise Money For Unique Veterans Program

TEMECULA, CA — You may already know that Pechanga Resort Casino plays hosts to all sorts of fun activities like gaming and concerts, but did you know they also host special events for International Yoga Day?

Kicking off the summer on June 21, the resort hosted more than 50 men, women and kids of all ages for four free yoga and meditation classes. Though the classes did not cost anything to attend, it was part of an effort to raise donations for the Give Back Yoga Foundation’s Mindful Yoga Therapy program. Together, these local yogis raised $464, according to Pechanga representatives.

"Mindful Yoga Therapy benefits U.S. veterans by providing yoga, meditation, breath work, and yoga nidra to help them transition to a life of strength and resilience," the organization said.

In the photo recap of the event above, you can check out some of the action as four local yoga influencers from the Temecula Yoga Collective and Hot Yoga Healthy You studios led the courses.
