On June 11, more than 300 yoga students and instructors will gather on the lawn of CenterPark at NorthPark Center to perform 108 grueling sun salutations to raise money for victims of the 2010 Haitian earthquake.
The annual event, One Love Dallas, “builds community and social awareness through yoga.” Each sun salutation is comprised of 24 poses, requiring much physical and mental training, and each participant is responsible for bringing a minimum of $108 in donations to the cause.
Last June, the Dallas yoga community raised more than $30,000 for health and education programs for South Africans living with HIV/AIDS. This year, the goal is $50,000.
