By your efforts and generosity of our volunteers, so many people
are uplifted and their lives are changed. If you would like to
volunteer your services, phone Laura Spaulding at 502-585-9642 to
find out how you can help. Your service and donations keep Yoga East
going. Income from class fees is not enough to fund our mission.
Your service and tax-deductible contributions enable Yoga East to
offer the benefits of yoga to many people who would otherwise not
have access to yoga. |
