The 30 Day Challenge: Time is Running Out!
This July, lil omm is joining with the rest of DC yoga community to support the Citizen Effect 30 Day Yoga Challenge — an effort that aims to fully fund a foster home for children in South Africa. As a studio, we are sponsoring the challenge, and as a community, we hope to have strong participation. Please think about joining this effort for yourself, for the cause, and to connect with others in the lil omm community! Here's how it works:
1. Register at Citizen Effect for $30 and set your fundraising goal.
2. Work on getting friends and family to sponsor you and donate on your personal page.
3. Enjoy free or discounted classes at DC's top yoga studios.
4. Get started at the kick-off event on June 30th with free yoga in Meridian Hill Park.
5. Celebrate your achievement at lululemon athletica Georgetown on August 5th.
And...don't forget about all that will be happening at lil omm!
Building Your Home Practice
Saturday, June 26th
1 pm - 3 pm
We'll discuss how to build a flow, how poses compliment one another, and how to be safe when you can't make it to the studio.
Cost: FREE for Yoga Challenge participants, suggested donation of $10 for anyone else - all are welcome!
Yoga Challenge participants will enjoy FREE classes on Fridays.
Yoga Challenge participants will get 10% off a 5-class pass for the month of July — in addition to great deals at other DC studios.
Remember: 100% of the funds raised will go to The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project to build and maintain a foster home in Cloetesville, South Africa. This is a great cause and will prove to be an amazing experience for anyone who participates. Just think about all you can learn about yourself, your practice, and the world simply by taking the time to focus on your practice each day.
We hope you'll join us! Stay tuned for more information, including who else in your classes is taking the challenge...don't forget to sign up by Friday June 25th!!!

Bringing Ayurveda into the Home
In follow up of the inspiring Holistic Moms Network meeting about Ayurveda, we wanted to pass along that the fabulous speaker, Brigid Rauch, is offering a number of classes that will dive deeper into the subject of Ayurveda, the "sister science" of yoga.
Brigid is a resident of the Shanti Yoga Ashram in Bethesda. MD since 2007. She has been practicing yoga since 1999 and teaching prenatal, post-natal, and children’s yoga since 2007. In gratitude for the benefits that Ayurveda and Yoga have imparted to her roles as a mother and teacher, she shares this important knowledge with other yoga teachers, moms, and moms to-be.
Classes being offered at the ashram on East-West Highway in Bethesda include:
Ayurveda Basics
Ayurveda for Pregnancy Weekend Intensive
Ayurveda for Mothers Part I
Click on the classes above for more information about content, registration and scheduling. And learn more about Brigid and the Shanti Yoga Ashram at yogamamadc.com!
