Inspired by the organization Running In Heels, Yogis for Positive Change was founded in August of 2004 to serve as a rallying point and advocacy group for yogis and other peaceful warriors throughout the Metro DC area. Our mission is to foster a sense of cooperation within the Yoga Community and encourage involvement in community service and advocacy as a positive way to create societal change and mend political divides. To this end, Yogis for Positive Change posts information on events and community service/advocacy projects on the community e-calendar and encourages others within the community to do the same. The Karma Project is a cornerstone of the Yogis for Positive Change Philosophy. Through the Karma Project, Y+C works to raise funds and awareness for those in need. Past events have included a New Year's Day Salute to the Sun to benefit the Alexandria Animal Shelter, and A Yoga Marathon to benefit Oxfam America's Tsunami Relief Fund and DC YouthAids. Most recently, the Karma Project has undertaken the Fall Campaign to aid the Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort. The Karma Project is a unique opportunity for the community to demonstrate the generosity of heart and spirit of the peaceful warrior. "We make a living by what we get.
