LA Yoga Magazine and YogaGlo partner to host a unique event called Here Comes the Sun this Friday, June 26th from 5-10pm. Hm, I wonder if the title comes from the Beatles’ age old song “Here Comes the Sun”. Anyway, I’m sure you’re curious what this is all about…

Thanks YogaDork (a funny, witty yoga blog for those who’ve never checked them out!) for bringing to my attention the opportunity YogaBear has to win $3000 for their nonprofit work!
Who is YogaBear? Yogabear is a non-profit organization committed to bringing free yoga to those with cancer through partnerships with yoga studios from around the nation. This is a cause dear to my heart because my own dad passed away from lung cancer exactly 10 years ago. So I’ll do whatever I can to help support YogaBear and hope you will too!
How can we help Yogabear win $3k? An organization called Zemanta is giving away $3k to charitable causes that are most blogged about. So basically, all you have to do is BLOG and include the tagline below in your post.
This blog post is part of Zemanta’s “Blogging For a Cause” campaign to raise awareness and funds for worthy causes that bloggers care about.

Microfinance has been a longtime interest of mine so imagine my surprise when I found something that tied two of my loves – yoga and microfinance – together! Yay!
Microfinance is the supply of loans and other financial services to the poor who are unable to qualify for loans through regular banks. It was founded by Muhammad Yunus, who believed that in order to help the poor we need to help them help themselves. He thought one way to do this could be to provide them with small loans that they would repay over time. This would give the poor the opportunity to get the funding needed to start up their own little businesses and slowly earn revenue, thereby supporting themselves in the long run.
