“Yoga has done so much for me personally, so this is an opportunity for me to give back,” Bunch said. “It’s a great opportunity to honor yoga, and bring our collective energy together with thousands of other yogis during that same time.”

Bunch said this is an opportunity to, as Ghandi says, “be the change you want to see in the world.”

“If we want the world to be a more peaceful, calm, happy and joyful place, then yoga needs to be available to everyone,” she said. “And it starts by practicing, and becoming more centered and peaceful yourself.”
