Dear World Yoga Center Community Members, Yogis and Yoginis,

It’s time to wrap up our Spring campaign!

We are writing to invite your participation and to thank everyone who has participated so far.

Our new non-profit status is a vibrant expression of our true purpose which is to introduce and sustain both newcomers and experienced practitioners on the deeply transformational journey of Yoga.

As a community, you have created over fifty four years of steady practice, supporting both the school’s evolution and one another. You have meditated together, uplifted all of us with your yogic spirit when you come to class, and joined our fundraising events – gatherings of love, commitment, and financial support.

This fine spring, we invite you to consider a gift toward our Spring fundraising campaign.

Thank you for taking part in sustaining what has always made the school strong: the hidden presence one cannot see that lies at the very heart of our practices and lies at the very heart of Yoga. This is the Grace Principle which flows through all of us, our beloved community, and brings revelatory transformation. It pours into our lives and sustains us all in shared endeavor.

With hearts full of appreciation, thank you for your loving support,

The World Yoga Center Board of Directors:
Rudrani, Julia, Eric, Nina, and Susan

Dear World Yoga Center Community Members, Yogis and Yoginis,

Welcome to our Spring campaign.

We are writing to invite your participation in a very special way— through your generosity.

Our new non-profit status is a vibrant expression of our true purpose which is to introduce and sustain both newcomers and experienced practitioners on the deeply transformational journey of Yoga.

Since the school recently took birth as a non-profit, so many of you who are members of the World Yoga Center Community have helped strengthen the school with your generous gifts of service and donations. For this, we most heartily thank you all!

As a beautiful community, you have created over fifty four years of steady practice, supporting both the school’s evolution and one another. You have meditated together, uplifted all of us with your yogic spirit when you come to class, and joined our fundraising events – the most recent event was earlier this week, a gathering of love, commitment, and financial support.

This fine spring, we invite you to consider a gift toward our Spring fundraising campaign.

In these times of radical change in our world, the WYC creates an environment of radical inclusion. The school welcomes people of all backgrounds, physical abilities and financial status, with ever fresh vigor because of your support!!

Our community supported mission sustains our complementary, daily, morning meditation practice and enables us to offer programming that is accessible and affordable.

Thank you for taking part in sustaining what has always made the school strong: the hidden presence one cannot see that lies at the very heart of our practices and lies at the very heart of Yoga. This is the Grace Principle which flows through all of us, our beloved community, and brings revelatory transformation. It pours into our lives and sustains us all in shared endeavor.

With full hearts of appreciation, we invite you to consider a gift of any size.
