Thanks to Kayoko M. for this update from NYC :
Welcome YGB Ambassador Jörgen Christiansson!!
"Yoga Gives Back is a simple but powerful way to bring about a profound change in someone's life. It is a way for us to motivate Indian women and their families to become independent and secure. It is also a method to give something back to the country of Krishna and Buddha and so many enlightened souls, which gave us yoga, it's philosophy, Ayurveda and all other teachings, which improved mankind. I personally, feel grateful for what it has taught and molded me into, whom I am today ."
Jörgen Christiansson, who teaches the Ashtanga program, has had a lifelong relationship with Yoga. Early in life, he gained experience in the various traditions of yoga while traveling extensively throughout India. Jörgen met his teacher Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 1988, when he first visited Mysore. With more than 20 years of teaching experience, he teaches in the same traditional manner as was taught to him by his Guru.
Last October, Jörgen and MahaMondo (Mahamondo.com) hosted the most successful fundraiser "Thank You Mother India" in Venice, California. This year, we are expanding this event into our first global fundraiser in collaboration with Omkar108 .
