Yoga Benefit for Maui Wildfire Victims on Friday

Fri, 09/22/2023 - 10:54

Mandala Yoga and Center for Healing Arts in Amagansett will host a restorative yoga class with singing bowls to raise money for families experiencing loss in Maui on Friday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Scoville Hall. Gian Carlo Feleppa on sitar and Will Ryan on flute will join Brittni, the instructor, whose family has lived on Maui for more than 30 years. 

Donations can be made before, upon arrival, or after the class and are being gathered via Venmo to the account @mandala-maui. A donation of $50 or more has been suggested, but the message is to "please donate what feels good." Those interested in attending have been asked to sign up to hold a space at Mandala's website.
