Items can be left inder the Christmas tree at the studio. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 31.
"We feel strongly that this is a great way to connect with the community while practicing ‘Karma Yoga' or the discipline of action,” said Danielle Dickinson, yoga teacher and studio manager. "It helps us build community and camaraderie among our students and the greater community. And that positive sense of peace and satisfaction is what we seek to achieve here every day.”
