Little Sisters New Westminster hasn't added a story.
Yoga builds self-confidence, self-esteem and self-awareness.
Yoga improves focus, concentration, breathing, listening and relaxation skills.
Yoga helps us deal with challenges with an open heart.
Yoga also develops physical fitness and it’s a lot of fun!
As a leading child and youth mentoring charity, Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland facilitates life-changing relationships that inspire and empower girls to reach their potential, both as individuals and citizens. We believe that by changing the course of young lives through supportive mentoring relationships, we can change the course of a community’s future.
Our Big Sisters give back in so many ways. Thanks to the anonymous Big Sister who donated so that our Littles can join in the fun.
This August yogis will come together for an all-level, fun-filled event that will challenge participants to experience a full or half day yogathon while raising funds for Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland.
