World Yoga Day Event To Benefit The Westfield Area YMCA’S Annual Support Campaign

The Westfield Area YMCA invites the community to celebrate World Yoga Day with a theme of “Peaceful Warrior,” on Sunday, February 26th from 3:15 pm-5:15pm in the Weldon Room located at the Main Y Facility, 220 Clark Street.

Participants will focus on achieving and sharing inner peace using calming breathing techniques and soothing yoga meditation. This will be followed by a choice of yoga practice – restorative, chair yoga or lively asanas. All will come together for powerful Yoga nidra (deep relaxation) and a time for discussion. This special event is appropriate for first-time yoga attendees as well as those who have been practicing for many years.

A $25 contribution benefits the Y’s Annual Support Campaign for strong kids, families and seniors. Thanks to the Annual Support Campaign, each year the Westfield Area Y provides over $400,000 in direct financial assistance to individuals and families in need to enable their participation at the Y. Approximately 88% of scholarship awards enable children to attend child care and day camp programs while approximately 12% supports membership and program participation.

Advanced registration is recommended. Interested participants can register online at www.westfieldynj.org or at the Main Y Welcome Center, 220 Clark Street. Please contact Jean White at (908) 233-2700 x246 or e-mail jwhite@westfieldynj.org with any questions.
