Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I felt inspired and moved by the work that Footprints have been doing to support the Little Angels orphanage in Johannesburg in South Africa and wanted to do something to help. I have a passion for yoga, so I thought a Yogathon would be a great and fun way of raising money for these charities. Please carry on reading to find out more about the day.

Little Angels Orphanage in South Africa
Led by some of UK’s most innovative yoga teachers, Pablo Imani & Howard Napper, the African Orphanage Yogathon 2014 promises to be a treat for enthusiasts and beginners alike. The day will be filled with live African music, fun and laughter. So, come along, do some yoga, have fun and raise money for a great cause all at the same time!
- Each session will be 2 hours long and led by a different teacher.
- You can choose to stay for the whole day or pop in for a few hours and come back later on in the day - but you will need to pay another £20.00 donation for re-entry.
- Free registration if you are sponsored for £100.00 or over
- Yoga mats and water will be provided
- Talking of giving, how about bringing some vegetarian/vegan food to share with your fellow yogis on the day? Plates and cutlery will be provided.
