Yoga team raises $2600

More than $2600 was raised by the Peninsula Yoga Aid team for children's charity Australia Save the Children on October 22.

"It was a cold, wet, windy morning when the Peninsula Yoga Aid team gathered in the dark at the Umina Beach Surf Club," team organiser Ms Helen MacNair said.

"It was the coldest October day in 17 years, apparently, when we all met at 6am.

"Luckily the team were inside.

"It was fabulous to watch the waves breaking on the beach as the day dawned.

"John Wilson was at the yoga expo the week before and discovered our little team of six was the talk of the town as we've managed to raise so much despite being only a few!"

Ms MacNair said the Peninsula Yoga Aid team would continue to raise funds for the Australia Save the Children charity until the end of November.

"We enjoyed our 108 sun salutes and the energy we created carried us through relatively effortlessly."

Anyone wanting to make a donation should contact John Wilson on 4342 5000 or Helen at www.bellaroseyoga.com.
