In May The Wellness Initiative hosted our 3rd Annual Yogathon. It was a great success because of amazing support from hundreds of people. We would like to send a heartfelt thank-you to those who gave of their time and treasures.

We were lucky to once again have a wonderful group of Colorado-based yoga teachers leading the 108 sun salutations and the 2 master classes. Featured instructors included Buffy Barfoot, Jason Bowman, Brandon Cox, Billy Goldman, TristaHollerbach, Matt Kapinus, Jeanie Manchester, Michelle Marchildon, Natalie Morgan, Shannon Paige Schneider, Livia Shapiro, Stephen Uvalle, De West, and Nancy Kate Williams. These teachers were accompanied by the rhythmic music of Jim Beckwith, Adam Fehlberg, Chuck White, and Stephen Angus. Steph Uvalle kicked off the program with her beautiful chanting. Thank you to Jim Campbell and Carl Kerridge for generously photographing the event. See teacher bios here.

Thank you to our planning committee members, Polly Babcock, Chloe Barrett-Page, Devon Bertram, Grace Boyle, Jen DeCestro, Danielle Diamond, Jessie Hetland, Allyson Levine, Bonnie Luftig, Beth Miller, Kat Murphy, Alison Rogers, and Elizabeth Treister. This dedicated team of volunteers worked for months to plan and execute the Yogathon; simply put, it would not have been possible without their tireless efforts. If you would like to join the planning committee for our 2013 Yogathon, please contact Mara Rose at mara@wellnessinitiative.org. We'd love your help!

Thank you to the individual and team fundraisers who together raised $32,000. We hope to see you and your friends on April 27, 2013 for our 4th Annual Yogathon!

Thank you to all of our 36 sponsors, as well as the other supporters who helped make the event dynamic, tasty, and fun for everyone. Please show your appreciation by supporting our 2012 sponsors and supporters:
