YMCA of Port Arthur, Texas - Gentle Beginning Yoga Class with Gaileee, E-RYT 200

YMCA of Port Arthur, Texas - Gentle Beginning Yoga Class with Gaileee, E-RYT 200
Posted by: Gail Pickens-Barger, E-RYT 200

First time ever to have the Yoga Day USA at the YMCA of Port Arthur, Texas.  We wanted to offer this class to the community and to also benefit those less fortunate, by offering the class for free for an oatmeal donation.

The donation of the oatmeal was to benefit the United Board of Missions Food Bank, which in turn, supplies groceries for families in need, in our community.

It was standing room only as Gail Pickens-Barger, E-RYT 200, led a class of 50 participants in a gentle beginning hatha yoga class.  It was estimated that for 70% of the participants, it was their first time to take a yoga class or their first time to take a yoga class at the YMCA of Port Arthur.

Literature about yoga & body butter samples were given out to all the participants.
