On Sunday the 26th of February 2012, yoga teachers and studios around the world will donate their time
and space toward a variety of yoga classes devoted to human rights.Students attending the event will donate whatever tuition they can afford. Our aim is that as many nations as possible come together on this project, especially
countries where human rights violation is a more dominant issue.
Devoting our thoughts
and energy globally to the human rights issue will generate a powerful impact.
This
year your donations go to support Reporters Without Borders, which:
defends
journalists and media assistants imprisoned or persecuted for doing their job and
exposes the mistreatment and torture of them in many countries.
fights against censorship and laws that undermine press freedom. - gives financial aid each
year to 100 or so journalists or media outlets in difficulty (to pay for lawyers, medical care and equipment) as well to the
families of imprisoned journalists.
works to
improve the safety of journalists, especially those reporting in war zones.
