My Birthday Yoga will be on Sunday Afternoon 8/25! 

To commemorate my 55th year, we’ll practice yoga together. This class will serve dual purposes: 

1. Fundraiser for the Middle East Children’s Alliance to support children and families in Gaza. Donate using my fundraiser page!
2. Self-care gift from Tako to you if you are of Palestinian heritage and/or you are active in liberation work.

I’ll be teaching and practicing yoga at the Laurel studio of Left Coast Power Yoga (they’re donating their space for this event!) You are invited to practice with me and other like-minded folks! (Doing yoga is not required if want to support — you can donate regardless even if yoga’s not your thing.)

• In person at the Laurel studio:
  • 2:45pm 60 minute Flow & Restore REGISTER
  • 4:00pm 75 minute Flow/Restore/Soundbath (SORRY, FULL)
• Be in virtual community with those of us at the studio at 4pm Pacific Time REGISTER FOR ZOOM
• Can’t make it? Let Tako know you’d like to receive a recording of the class & the playlist!

If you’re participating in the fundraiser, donations can be made directly to my fundraising page for MECA. You can also Venmo/PayPal me the day of. Studio will be non-heated. 

Classes will be a gentle flow & restore. The 4pm class will be followed by a short sound bath. The playlist will heavily feature Palestinian artists, and be rounded out by other beautiful musicians from other Islamic nations impacted by imperialism.

Your donation will fund Tako’s Middle East Children’s Alliance fundraiser page to provide urgent aid to children & families in Gaza. MECA’s staff and local partners in Gaza are on the ground responding to the most urgent needs of children and families. 

Read the waiver now and sign off electronically when you register for yoga class! Signing ahead of time is mandatory for Zoomers!
