On September 9th every year, yogis around the globe gather and organize charity events to raise funds for local charities. The events are starting from Sydney Australia where the sunrise is early and follow the sun as it journeys across the planet through more than 20 countries finishing in Los Angeles at sunset.
Participation in these yoga classes is free. Donations are welcome. 100% of donations go directly to charity.
In Japan, funds will go to the Japan Platform which provides emergency relief in natural disasters. This is your chance to help people in the Tohoku region after the earthquake.
In Canada, funds go to imagine1day, CARE, and Africa Yoga Project.
