hunger hurts, you can help this weekend

The more you dig into your yoga practice, the more inclusive it will become. Which is why I couldn't pass over this food drive announcement.

Liquid Highway (here's to independent businesses!) will be hosting the staff of Metamorphosis Church on their E. North St. rooftop this weekend, as they fast in honor of a food drive for local pantries and shelters.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will bring canned food donations to the coffee shop that will be delivered to the Triune Mercy Center, Samaritan House, Gateway House and Loaves&Fishes. This will help local food pantries during what are typically the driest months of the year.

It's called the "Hunger Hurts Greenville: a 48-hour Fast and Food Can Drive." June 26-28, starts and ends at 8 p.m. those days. For more information or the schedule of events, visit http://hungerhurtsgreenville.com/Main.html.

About Me

I owe my passion for yoga and its transformative nature to my teachers, namely Max Strom. I have been teaching since December, 2006. I teach an all-levels vinyasa flow class, which focuses on the breath as the key to change and healing. As my teacher, Max, says, we just add the poses to the breath. I have completed a 30-hour teacher training with Max in Kansas City and another 54-hour training with him in Greenville; a 230-hour, 9-month intensive with Max's students and owners of North Main Yoga studio, Brian and Liz Delaney; and a Yin Yoga teacher training with Shala Worsley from the Asheville Yoga Center. Most recently, I have begun studying Thai Yoga Massage privately with Asheville therapist Lia Pardy. In April, I will enroll in the Asheville School of Massage & Yoga to pursue my massage therapist license.
