Take your yoga outside for The Mental Health Association of Westchester’s Get On Your Mat for Mental Health mega-yoga event. Named one of the seven most inspiring mega-yoga events in the world by Well + Good, the event unrolls on Court Street in the middle of White Plains, NY on Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at 5:30pm.
This year, the teacher is renowned yogi, Matthew Sanford. Matthew, is the author of the book, Waking: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence, in which he tells the story of the car accident in which he was paralyzed from the chest down and the subsequent waking of both mind and body through yoga. Says Matthew, “The principles of yoga apply to all people and to all bodies.” This will be Matthew’s first appearance in Westchester.
