ABELLAYOGA ANNOUNCES FREE YOGA CLASS IN CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL YOGA DAY WITH DONATIONS TO BENEFIT SOLES4SOULS INC, THE SHOE CHARITY

All Northern Virginia residents are encouraged to participate

AbellaYoga announced today that they will celebrate national Yoga Day USA by giving back to their community. The fitness company will offer a free yoga class on January 23, 2010 and in return, is encouraging participants to donate to Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity. Soles4Souls collects and distributes new and gently worn shoes to people in need all over the world. To date, the charity has distributed more than 6 million shoes in 125 countries.

The class will be held Saturday, January 23rd from 9:30 am until 11:00 am at Gadsby’s Tavern Museum in Alexandria, Virginia. Donors who give $20 or more will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a free private yoga session with Melody Abella, a value of $135.

“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the spirit of Yoga Day than by helping others,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. “The simple gift of shoes can truly make a difference in someone’s life. Our friends at abellaYoga are helping us in our mission to Change the World One Pair at a Time.”
