The event is over, but donations will still be accepted until April 27. It was my first time at Yoga Reaches Out and I didn't really know what to expect.
What I can tell you now is that it was very 'moving' experience in a number of ways:
1) the stories we heard about families and children who have benefited from Boston Children's Hospital's world class, compassionate care - and the role that fundraising activities like this play in that equation
2) the physical and spiritual movement inherent in the yoga classes that we collectively enjoyed
3) the movement needed to simply stay warm on a very breezy, colder-than-usual day! I dressed for the temperature, but totally forgot to factor in the wind!!
I was so inspired by the whole occasion that I just had to try my hand at doing my yoga headstand on Gillette Stadium field - and was successful without any assistance! Picture to prove it!
