To all of the YR Community

We are writing this with a lump in our throats as we ourselves deal with news that has shaken many within our Community. This past week, one of our students, Danijela D. felt under the weather and decided a trip to the local ER might be necessary. Within 24 hours, she was transported to the main campus, admitted and diagnosed with Acute Leukemia. Her battle is just starting. And shock waves were sent throughout the Yoga Roots Community….far and wide!

Danijela has friends everywhere, a testament to the person she is. Within Yoga Roots, her roots of connections is extensive, and the impacts being felt by teachers, fellow students and us are real and deep. We also know that Danijela is not alone in this type of battle….not even within our own YR Community. We are mindful that this fight exists in far too many places. For many of you, Danijela’s challenge may not be personal to you. We are confident, however, that most, if not everyone, can empathize. There is THAT PERSON or people in your lives that just received similar news, and which is devastating to hear and endure. We’ve all been kicked in the gut by the dreaded “C” word. And in those situations, it is common to wonder both silently and aloud what you can do to help.

So Yoga Roots is going to provide a place for healing, for meditation and for collective positive intentions setting this Friday from 7:15-8:00pm. This is a donation class with ALL contributions placed in a fund to assist Danijela as she confronts this life changing journey. While the donations will be for her, everyone is welcome to come and be on their mat for this Community Meditation and Intention Setting for your own healing, and/or to meditate for someone else. This class has no boundaries on love and caring. Each of us can make a difference, and collectively we will send our intentions in such a manner that we hope will literally be “felt” by all those impacted.

This is tough, but we know from experience that there is a live energy within the YR community. It’s special, and we truly believe that a positive change can result from us pulling together for a common cause.

In wishing Danijela, and all others interceded for, rapid and complete healing……….we invite everyone to join us for 45 minutes this Friday evening to Meditate and believe in the power of Intentions. Space will be limited, so please register online or call to have your name added to the class roster. If you can’t physically make it to YR, please try to find your space to share in this moment.

Many thanks for the support and encouragement of this amazing Community,

Namaste,
Kim and Scott
and the entire YR Team
