Heart'n'Soul²⁰¹⁰

Hosted by Jaki Savage

Be a part of this inaugural Northern Yogathon and help to raise money for your chosen charity as well as those wonderful Macmillan Nurses who provide a compassionate service and support for those with cancer and their families.
This will be the first of many annual Northern Yogathons and will only go from strength to strength - so don't miss this one!

The Yogathon will be you and many others performing Sun Salutations lead by an experienced yoga teacher. You will be able to feed from the energy of the whole event and those around you. Please don't view this yogathon as a challenge but as a way of giving while doing something you love.

You do not need to complete all Sun Salutations; you only do as many as you wish and of course you can take a break if required. Remember you will be donating to charity simply by entering.
It is strongly advisable for entrants to have a regular practice and be familiar with the Sun Salutation vinyasa. Although the yogathon will be lead it will be your own responsibility to take care of your health and wellbeing throughout the day. Be truthful to yourself and only enter if you can enjoy the session.

Things you need to be aware of:

1. Entry fee is £ 10, which includes entry into the Heart & Soul event for the day (10.00 - 5.00pm)
2. Sponsorship money goes to Macmillan Nurses as our charity of choice.
3. Two separate yogathon sessions take place throughout the day, so ensure you indicate on your entry form your preferred time. We will try to honour this but due to demand it may be that you have to slot in to your second choice.
4. Your health and wellbeing is your responsibility.
5. You will receive a Northern Yogathon 2010 cloth badge for you to sew onto your mat bag or mat - your collection starts here.
6. You do not have to complete all 108 Sun Salutations but must start and finish with the lead teacher.
7. Your individual Sun Salutations will be counted, so you can concentrate on your practice, your breath and your energy.
8. Following the event you will receive a certificate indicating your completed Sun Salutations and information on the total raised for charity.
9. The yogathon will be held on the staged area of the Borough Hall as the Heart & Soul event is taking place. Enjoy their presence and support.
