Salutation Nation: A Community Yoga Class for All
To celebrate National Yoga Month, this Saturday, September 10th citizens of Jonesboro are invited to take part in Salutation Nation, a complimentary yoga class from 9:00am to 10:00am on the East lawn of the Jonesboro Public Library.
Salutation Nation is one-hour all-level yoga practice happening outdoors in select communities across Canada and the United States at 9 a.m. (local time) on Saturday, September 10, 2011. Nirvana Hot Yoga Studio in Downtown Jonesboro and the Jonesboro Public Library will be hosting the event in our community on the East side of the library lawn. “The event will be providing an introduction to yoga, and a healthy way for community members and families to connect and de-stress. I’m excited to have the opportunity to make yoga and its health benefits accessible to everyone,” said Brooke Kochel who has been practicing yoga for seven years and trained with instructors around the world.
Brooke Kochel, yoga instructor and Chystal Taylor, owner of Nirvana Hot Yoga studio, will be leading the class and answering questions about yoga. No equipment is needed to practice. Participants can bring a mat or practice directly on the grass. Extra mats will be provided by Nirvana. Regular classes are held in Nirvana’s studio located at 236 South Main in Downtown Jonesboro.
SALUTATION NATION FACT SHEET
• lululemon athletica, a publically traded athletic clothing company, created Salutation Nation to share the gift of yoga and provide a unique outdoor space for community members to connect. If one person tries yoga for the first time; if two people connect during a sun salutation; if a group of friends move their weekly Saturday morning yoga practice outdoors, Salutation Nation will be a success.
• Salutation Nation is a decentralized event. Every Salutation Nation class will be distinct as it will reflect what is most appropriate and meaningful for the community in which it is taking place. While lululemon initiated the concept by enlisting yoga instructors and fitness leaders from their local communities, the event has grown simply through word of mouth.
• More than 25,000 people across Canada and the United States are expected to participate in the one-hour practice. Upwards of 3,000 people are expected in some larger communities.
• Approximately 70 lululemon locations are hosting Salutation Nation events. For a full list of participating stores, please visit www.lululemon.com/community/blog/salutation-nation
