Our Yogathon / Mary Dunn Celebration was an uplifting day of fun, celebration and community. Thank you for joining us, pledging -- taking part in whatever way you could!

More than 350 students and teachers participated – more than 70 volunteers kept everything running smoothly -- and the Association raised over $35,000!

Check out the photos which recall highlights of the day including:

• The IN HER OWN WORDS and SPIRIT OF MARY DUNN classes, recalling the inspiration of our beloved Senior Teacher Mary Dunn -- emphasizing the lineage of yoga which connects all of us our teachers, Senior Teachers and the Iyengars.

• Master of Ceremonies Tori Milner, assisted by Adam Vitolo, keeping the day's events in focus.
