Project 108: Let's Get Physical

Project 108 is a fundraising event developed by Lisa Schrempp and Earle Birney initially to help raise money in order to aid children in Iraq who have been affected my this most recent war. Now Project 108 turns its sights on the Diamond Mountain Three Year Retreat. If you know Lisa and Earle then you won't be surprised to find out that Project 108 involves yoga asana, a lot of it. Yogi participants are sponsored to do 108 sun salutations or suryanamaskaras with the sponsorship money going to whatever the specified cause is.

This upcoming Project 108 effort for DM will be held Saturday, May 2nd at Himmel Park in Tucson. You can participate as a yogi or, as I prefer to do, pay someone else to sweat for you by sponsoring a yogi.
