SURF Coast Kundalini Yoga teacher Susie Seale will be holding a fundraising yoga session for drought relief in Torquay next week.<\/p>\n
All proceeds from \u201cWe Are One But We Are Many\u201d will be donated to Aussie Helpers \u2013 a charity set up to help farmers and their families during times of distress.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy vision is to pack the studio at 16 Price Street to capacity to raise as much financial assistance as is humanly possible on a yoga mat for drought relief,\u201d Ms Seale said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know we all struggle to imagine the horror that the children of farming families must be experiencing as they watch their animals suffer.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeither can I comprehend the utter desperation of farming families as they face the relentless, insurmountable hardship foisted upon them by the most vicious drought in our country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea of a community yoga class to raise money for drought relief came after weeks of watching story after tragic story about the plight of our drought-affected farmers. Yet it is difficult to make an impact alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Seale said she thought long and hard about a title for the event, eventually settling on \u201cWe are one but we are many\u201d (from the 1987 song \u201cI Am Australian\u201d).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Surf Coast community is like no other I have ever been a part of. My dream is that we can join together for a yoga class filled with power and passion, and love and gratitude for one another, and \u2018bring it\u2019 to reach our collective dream donation goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe may even close with a little kundalini rain dance to gong and hand drums accompaniment lovingly donated by Bianca Aviaz.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tiz Robinson will do a Sounds of Freedom sound shower, and local Wemba Wemba woman and yoga instructor Thaedra Frangos will perform a sacred earth healing Wayapa Wuurrk meditation to close the morning.<\/p>\n
Anyone may take part, no prior yoga experience is necessary, but the studio limit will be set at 50 participants.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe Are One But We Are Many\u201d will be held at 16 Price Street, Torquay on September 29 from 9-10.30am. Entry is $20 per head. To book, head to eventbrite.com.au and search \u201cWE ARE ONE BUT WE ARE MANY\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
