Global Mala Project: Yoga for Peace in Action!
JOIN US in connecting the New Hampshire bead!

Saturday, September 20, 2008
8am - 4pm

Peace is not passive. Mahatma Gandhi taught that it is about activism! Yoga for Peace in Action is a part of our spiritual activism. We activate spirit through yoga and meditation and carry this into our ever-broadening awareness of oneness.

Enjoy a full variety of yoga (for kids, adults, beginners, experts), meditation, pranayam, philosophy, yoga nidra, laughter yoga, kirtan & Bharatanatyam!

Learn from locally, nationally & internationally known teachers!
