*Dear Friends,* ** *Please pass along. * ** *Breeze* *----------* ** *The first ever yoga gathering for black people focused on the potential impact of yoga on health and the socio-cultural politics of race in America* Dear Friend: We invite you to join some of this country's leading black yoga teachers at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies (http://www.eomega.org) the weekend of September 21-23, 2007 for "Roots, Rhythm and Soul," the first ever yoga gathering for black people focused on the potential impact of yoga on health and the socio-cultural politics of race in America. We will look at the health issues that adversely affect the lives and longevity of black people, i.e., stress, hypertension, diabetes and obesity and explore how yoga and other holistic practices can help abate and alleviate these conditions. Our weekend retreat will also include time for pampering, relaxation and community building. An e-postcard about this event is attached. If you would like more specific details, please feel free to contact us. We would also like to send you some printed post cards to distribute to your friends. We look forward to hearing from you.
