On Saturday, February 14, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., local yoga teacher Shannon Hurley will lead a by-donation yoga practice to benefit the Do It For the Love Foundation, at Princeton Center for Yoga & Health (PCYH), located at 88 Orchard Road in Skillman. Do It For the Love Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by musician Michael Franti that aims, through the healing power of music, to inspire joy, hope, and lasting celebratory memories in the face of severe illness and trauma.

The class will feature a flowing yoga practice appropriate for all levels, from beginner to advanced, as well as live music from Philadelphia area musicians Mike “Slo-Mo” Brenner, who will be playing a chaturangui (Indian slide guitar), and Hoagy Wing, who will be playing a doumbek (Middle Eastern hand drum).

“Music has always played an important role in my life and it is a tremendous part of my yoga practice,” said Ms. Hurley, who has been teaching yoga at Princeton Center for Yoga & Health since 2011. “After hearing about Michael Franti’s foundation, I knew I had to do something to give and to educate people about the work this foundation does.”

Attending participants will receive a goody bag as a thank you for participating and donating. “Yoga Journal, Yogi Tea, GoMacro Macro Bars and (seed) body care have all generously donated to our goody bags,” said Hurley. “The musicians providing the live music during the class have donated their time. And there will be a chocolate meditation featuring delicious treats donated by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.”

Participants can give what they can to attend. Donations will be sent to the Do It For the Love Foundation. For more information about this event or to reserve a spot, visit PrincetonYoga.com or call (609) 924-7294.
