New York, NY (February 2012) – February, February 10th and Saturday, February 11th, The Urban Yoga Foundation and Speak Easy M.E.D.I.A both non-profit organizations will be launching the brand new Foundation House on historic Strivers Row in Harlem, New York. The Foundation House is a semi-private, holistic creative arts center that will manifest the basic meaning of yoga: to unite. With the mission to unify the Harlem community using yoga as the foundation of artistic, academic and creative expression, The Foundation House will act as a creative haven of inspiration offering participants the freedom to practice yoga and use holistic health as a vehicle to strengthen the community.
“We are hopeful to expose the community to a holistic and healthy lifestyle that we all should be living,” said Speak Easy M.E.D.I.A Foundation chairman, Clayton Sizemore. “We want to benefit the community by providing educational resources through both organizations and continue to help others live their best life.”
Talent has been organized for the evening through Pravassa, a wellness company in New York City. Yoga instructors from Asali Yoga, Chef Melissa Gellert and Nourish Our Body will donate their time during the two-day event to provide the Harlem community a chance to experience The Foundation House in its full capacity. Each event will consist of 3 breakout sessions: Guilt Free Sweet Love, centered around vegetarian food and nutrition; Love of Art, where a communal mural will be created; and Living and Loving Yoga, which introduces yoga as a healing technique. Attendees have the opportunity during Friday evening’s Adult focused programs to enjoy food created by Nourish Our Body and enjoy 20-minute yoga classes led by Asali Yoga. Attendees at the Saturday afternoon Youth oriented programs will dig in to food provided by Chef Melissa Gellert and stretch at the 20-minute yoga classes led by Asali Yoga.
“The weekend’s preview is all about uniting the community members and inspiring them to make gradual changes in their lifestyle habits,” said Urban Yoga Foundation founder, Ghylian Bell. “Opening the Foundation House will be the realization of a long time dream to have a physical space in which to help keep the community conscious of what we can do together to insure access to a whole healthy lifestyle.”
