Charity Event to Benefit Kiva

Please join Kathy Duke and Pat Pao for an all levels class, including poses for moving and strengthening the body, followed by a relaxing and softening practice including pranayama and meditation.

Kiva is a non-profit organization with a mission to alleviate poverty by connecting people through lending. Kiva works with microfinance institutions on five continents to provide loans to people without access to traditional banking systems. One hundred percent of your loan is sent to these microfinance institutions. These microloans are used to create and grow businesses which benefit entire households. Loans made through Kiva can be repaid by the borrowers and can then be reinvested in new projects. To learn more visit www.kiva.org.

Kiva only accepts online donations. Our page is http://www.kiva.org/team/health_advantage_yoga
