On Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon, yoga will raise scholarship funds as well as provide its other healthy effects.
The Yoga Mastery Institute, previously Tadasana Yoga, will partner with Women’s Inspired Network of Park City to raise money for female high school students.
“We are so pleased to be partnering with WIN Park City for this event. We get to introduce the Yoga Mastery program to the community and raise funds for local high school women at the same time. This is exciting for everyone involved,” said Melissa Garland, owner of the Yoga Mastery Institute. “The class is for all levels and will teach the five essential poses of yoga, plus mindfulness techniques, that build strength and dramatically reduce anxiety.”
Win for Good Corp., the philanthropic branch of WIN Park City, works year-round to gather resources, which are then turned into educational scholarships. These scholarships are awarded to select female students from Park City High School, Wasatch High School, South Summit High School, and, most recently, North Summit High School. The organization has raised over $200,000 to aidthe young women in their educational pursuits after high school.
“Our entire mission at the Women’s Inspired Network is to co-create a community that gets to connect, inspire, and grow together,” said Kirsten Gunnerud, executive director for WIN Park City and Win for Good. “This fundraising event provides an opportunity for not just our members, but for anyone in the Park City community to connect with each other, grow and learn new things — all ages are welcome! That alone is incredible, and even more so because the funds raised provide a launchpad for our local high school women to pursue their dreams.”
The event welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels. Tickets cost $50, accessible via the “events” section at WINparkcity.com, and are tax-deductible. The Yoga Mastery Institute will be covering all event-related expenses so that the funds raised all go to the program.
