“Sweating for a good cause!”
On Saturday, January 23, the AEOSA Philanthropy Committee hosted their second Pink Hot Yogathon of the year, to raise money and awareness for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The event took place at Moksha Yoga centre on Richmond and Mill St. and for a donation, AEO’s were treated to an hour of scintillating hot yoga.
For the less yoga-savvy among us, hot yoga involves a spacious yoga studio, a variety of questionably possible contortions of the body, a heating system that pumps the temperature up to a balmy 40 degrees Celsius, and a lot of sweat. So it is invariably a good time for all.
Feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive. “I had never tried hot yoga before, let alone yoga, until I went to the AEOSA Pink Yogathon. The experience was unreal and relaxing, i came out feeling like a whole new person. It’s definitely something I would do again!” said AEO1 Gina Chen.
All proceeds went to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to breast cancer research and support. The annual Run For A Cure is their largest fundraising event, which happens in communities across Canada every October, but every little bit helps.
