Join us at NamasteDirect's
Oakland Yoga-thon
Women and Men in Northern California will be joining together to connect on a deeper lever and through their efforts, connecting on a significant level to women in Guatemala and Mexico.
You don't need to be a yoga guru - instead of taking a yoga class for personal growth, you can take a yoga class and help change a woman's life!

Jacqueline Jensen:
Everyone deserves a chance at security and happiness. I am in a position to help shed light on poverty in Guatemala and contribute to fighting it, so I will.

Ebony Parker:
I am honored to be a part of the empowerment, encouragement, support, education, and personal development of a world community neighbor.
Lissette Averhoff:
Women have the power to change families and communities, but seldom have support in doing so. By giving just one woman the chance to change her situation, we are giving many others the support they will need. |
