Dallas-Fort Worth Free Day of Yoga

My name is Michelle Mock. I am a yoga practitioner and the Director of GoodBody’s Yoga Studio. I am currently compiling a list of teachers and studios that are interested in participating in the THIRD Annual Dallas Metroplex Free Day of Yoga on Labor Day, Monday, September 7, 2009. This idea began with the Austin Yoga Community 10 years ago and has blossomed into a Nationwide Annual Yoga Event.  Last year our second annual FDOY was a success with over 50 studios participating from Dallas to McKinney, from Denton to the Mid Cities, with more than 2,700 students, a extraordinary accomplishment! My wish is that this year we will have even more studios, classes and students participating in our THIRD Annual Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex FDOY!  

The idea is simple – The Dallas Metroplex Yoga Community, all the local teachers and studios, join together for the event. Everyone can participate by either teaching a class, offering your studio space as a venue, taking classes, donating time as a volunteer and/or all four! There is a web page www.freewebs.com/dallasfreedayofyoga and we will have a marketing campaign to create community awareness of the event. A flyer with the schedule of free classes, teachers and studio addresses will be distributed to generate interest and participation in our community’s Third Annual Free Day of Yoga!   

Let us join together again for the THIRD ANNUAL METROPLEX FREE DAY of YOGA and in support of our Yoga Community. The Free Day of Yoga will benefit our teachers, studios and students in several ways:

• Friends, family, neighbors and associates new to yoga can try it for FREE!  
• Existing students can experience new classes, teachers and studios.  
• Increases the exposure of our Dallas-Fort Worth Yoga Community.
• Raises the visibility of our teachers and studios.
• Introduces teachers to a large number of new students.
• Gives teachers & studios the opportunity to give back to our community.
• Showcases the tremendous diversity of teaching styles, quality, and talent in our city.
• Builds sense of community between and among teachers, studios and students.
• IT IS GREAT FUN!! 

Would You Like to Participate or Volunteer?

If you are interested in participating, offering a class or classes at your studio, teaching a class, sharing your studio space with teachers that want to teach yet need a space to teach and/or volunteer your time please complete the attached form to describe how you want to participate. Send the form via email to m.m.mock@sbcglobal.net or via mail to Michelle Mock c/o GoodBody’s Yoga Studio 5301 West Lovers Lane Suite 114 Dallas 75209 by June 15th. 

Last year’s feedback was unanimously positive plus we deepened our sense of community. It is true that nothing embodies sense of community more than a like-minded group of people taking action towards evolving a common endeavor.  I hope everyone has an opportunity to participate this year.

Thank you in advance for sharing your time, energy, resources and skills in support of our yoga community. 

Namaskar,

Michelle
