The multi-faceted event will include classes for children, one for ages four to seven, and one for ages eight to 12. Two meditation classes will be offered by Katonah psychotherapist Linda Jame and Vipassana Meditation expert Sandy Lee Perlow. Julie Bacon and David Wilder of Cross River’s O2 Living will be overseeing classes in physical alignment and breath awareness and yoga for beginners. In addition, North Salem yoga teacher Basil Jones will offer "a unique vinyasa class inspired by music from night clubs, electronic performers and emerging DJs."

“Yoga is very much about giving back and selfless service to others,” said Pound Ridge’s Ali Boak, co-founder of IOFA and co-creator of the Sunday Yoga event. “Those who attend will enjoy a wonderful experience while helping combat one of the world’s worst scourges – the trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable youth.”

Everyone is invited to come for a day and try a class. There is no fee but donations will be gratefully accepted. The event begins at 9 a.m. For more information, contact aliboak@me.com or mmmcrath1@hotmail.com.
