Join Michelle Barge, Yoga Teacher at the Sing for Hope Benefit on Monday, May 19

Sfh2008_postcard_photoMichelle Barge, yoga teacher, big hearted soul, sent the following very awesome invitation to a super auspicious event.  From her e-mail:

"As many of you know I have 2 charities that I'm really involved in AND super passionate about -- and one of them I work for: http://www.bentonlearning.org.

Bent on Learning brings yoga and meditation to the NYC Public School System.  We service the boroughs with a posse of teacher who go school to school daily - and yours truly is one of them. 

I teach high schoolers three times a week and it's a joy, but a challenge.  A lot of these kids don't have regular PE and haven't throughout their years in school, so many of them are not as fit as kids their age should be.  Yoga has given them discipline, strength, flexibility, focus and a "cool factor" you would not believe.  But this organization is non-profit and funds come through DOE contracts that the founders negotiate school-to-school and donations.  So we need your help to keep these programs going and growing! 

Please join me in this great event, Monday May 19th at the gorgeous Rubin Museum of Art.  If you can't attend, consider making a donation.  If you can do neither, I will have another fundraiser in June for Concrete Safaris."
