On the occasion of the world yoga day which is held each year on June 21, several teachers from the island gathered to share their practices last Saturday.
A full day dedicated to the practice of this discipline between physical exercise and the art of living. Five teachers and five different approaches for the same practice. From 8 a.m. to 18 p.m., the lessons followed one another in an environment conducive to letting go. The day ended with a conference on the theme "What is yoga?" ". The organizers had let the participants fix the price of the courses themselves on the model of "pay what you want" with the aim of donating all the profits to a local association, Mad Twoz Family, which works for and with young people in the area. Sandy Ground neighborhood.
Test transformed since this first edition brought in more than 600e (100 participations) which will be entirely donated to the association, all the participants worked voluntarily. The amount may seem paltry but the organizers explained to us that when it comes to yoga, the amount of donations was rather encouraging. Indeed, until now the practice of yoga in Saint Martin has affected only a minority of people. This would seem to show that the inhabitants of the island would be more and more interested in their well-being, nothing surprising after an event like the passage of Irma. The supported cause has probably finished deciding the most timid.
We will be examining this practice very soon, as well as the actions of the MadToz Family association. In the meantime, if you want to know more about wellness events, Laure Francillette has created a facebook page where she shares weekly yoga class schedules but also all wellness related events on the Isle. _NB
