Karma Krew brings Yogathon to Boone Jan. 25

Neighborhood Yoga in Boone is hosting a Yogathon on Sunday, Jan. 25.

The eight-hour session is being presented by Neighborhood Karma Krew, a local chapter of the national nonprofit organization, Karma Krew, which links community service with yoga.

Projects completed so far include teaching yoga to underserved populations, creating a butterfly garden and cleaning animal cages at a wildlife rescue center.

The Yogathon is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on National Yoga Day, Jan. 25, and will help the local Karma Krew foster future projects in Boone. The day promises eight hours of continuous yoga, and an event spokesperson said participants can get involved by gathering pledges from family and friends. Participants honor the pledges by practicing yoga for two hours during the eight-hour event.

Pledge forms are available at Neighborhood Yoga (on the back porch in a labeled boix and at the sign-in desk inside the studio), which is located at 215 Shanti Way in Boone.
