We’re asking for a minimum donation of $20, and the money from this event will go towards Wilson’s “Love Your Locks” program. Click the link for more info, but the simplest explanation is that these “cold caps” can be worn by women going through chemotherapy, and helps many women keep a majority of their hair. Lisa from Wilson’s used them when she battled breast cancer…
“I was able to save 60% of my hair through my chemo treatments and it helped me stay stronger by keeping some sort of normalcy in my life in a world of chaos and unknown.”
If you have any questions about the program, Lisa will be participating with us and would be happy to answer any questions, and share more about the program.
A couple of thoughts from Scotty…
- We don’t want to discourage anyone who wants to join us. But that being said, hot yoga is not for everyone.😄 You do not have to be a finely tuned athlete to do it, but it’s more of a workout than I anticipated the first time.
- The room will be 105 degrees, with 40% humidity.
- It’s OK if you’ve never done yoga! You’ll likely be able to do some of the movements, and not others. Catina is a wonderful instructor, and often offers suggestions for an alternate movement, or even just resting on your mat. There’s no shame in resting, I do it all the time!
- DRINK LOTS OF WATER, and bring some water with you.
- Bring your yoga mat, but if you don’t have one, don’t buy one! We’ll have a couple of extras.
- You can bring a bigger towel to lay on your mat. Since you’ll be sweating a lot, it helps keep you from slipping on the mat. Bring a towel to wipe off with too, you’ll need it! 🥵😄
- The class is 75 minutes, but the last 15 minutes is down on the mat stretching.
- WEAR PINK! 🩷
If you have any other questions, please shoot me an email and I’ll get you an answer.
And NAMASTE! 🧘
