New Dawn Yoga, a San Francisco Yoga Therapy is Offering a Gift for Veterans

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

New Dawn Yoga knows that we are free to celebrate the holiday season because of the service that veterans have provided through their military career. The San Francisco yoga therapy center wishes to thank veterans by offering them a gift throughout the month of December.

All veterans are eligible to receive a 45-minute personal yoga lesson during the final month of the year in their San Francisco, Pacifica and New York studios. This represents a special collaboration with the Art of Breathing in New York City.

?Military service is a calling, a sacrifice and a discipline,? says Dawn Summers of New Dawn Yoga. ?Veterans can become great yogis from their training since they have cultivated discipline and an attitude of service. Now they can leverage these skills and discover the power of yoga as a support for their well-being and peace of mind in civilian life.?

Yoga can help veterans develop focus, and link the body and mind towards a chosen goal. It also provides active tools to relieve stress and calm the nervous system.

?One of the foundational texts for yoga uses the metaphor of a warrior in battle to describe the principles of yoga and an illumined life,? relates Summers. ?The warrior is counseled by an agent of God, who says: ?It does not become you to yield to this weakness. Arise with a brave heart and destroy the enemy. The text continues with sage advice on how to master oneself first and foremost and that the true enemy resides in our own mind.?

Two great teachers, Dawn Summers and Andy Sugerman, are offering their talents in recognition and appreciation to veterans for their service to our country.

Veterans are invited to contact them for a complimentary private lesson to see what yoga can do for them.

Call Dawn Summers or Andy Sugerman today at 650-755-5460 and visit New Dawn Yoga?s website http://www.newdawnyoga.com/ for more information about the schedule of classes and type of workshops. The studio is located at 1589 Sanchez Street, San Francisco, CA.

Give the Gift of Dynamic Education With a Donation to Westchester Children?s Museum

Westchester County, NY (PRWEB) December 21, 2011

As Westchester Children?s Museum (WCM) begins to ready its new brick-and-mortar home in the historic North Bathhouse of Playland Park in Rye, N.Y., its Museum Without Walls program has been traveling to local community centers to provide students with hands-on educational activities that are full of fun and discovery. With a mission to engage regional children in exploratory learning and provide the same opportunities for future generations, there?s no better time than the season of giving to donate to the Westchester Children?s Museum.

Museum Without Walls programs are taught by volunteer educators and feature lessons about science, technology, engineering and math. Launched in March 2010, Museum Without Walls has helped children explore concepts of magnetism, DNA extraction, and solar and wind energy, as well as learn about whales, sharks and other wonders of the natural world. Students also participate in the creative arts through music, learn about cultural diversity through an innovative mask-making exercise, and examine environmental and sustainability issues through paper and book-making projects.

?Museum Without Walls offers diverse programs that provide kids with the opportunity to experience unique activities that are both educational and exciting,? said Brian Skanes, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester. Mary Thomas, Director of the White Plains YWCA?s Kids Connection, agrees, adding, ?The need has never been greater for this type of community collaboration.?

As declining school budgets continue to eliminate out-of-school enrichment programs, Museum Without Walls has steadily grown to provide an interactive learning environment to nurture and encourage the imaginations of future scientists, engineers, artists, and productive citizens. With your support, WCM can provide programs for children most in need of out-of- school-time activities throughout Westchester County, N.Y. and southern Fairfield County, Connecticut. Museum Without Walls programs are privately funded by generous corporate, foundation, and individual supporters.

To take advantage of the museum?s secure online giving options, please visit http://www.discoverWCM.org. For more information or to learn about other ways to help Westchester Children?s Museum, please call 914-421-5050.

About Westchester Children?s Museum

WCM is committed to broadening knowledge of the arts, the environment, multiculturalism, and the local and global communities in an educational and recreational atmosphere. The Westchester County Board of Legislators recently granted WCM a home at the historic Rye Playland North Bathhouse, where families will learn and explore through state-of-the-art exhibits. Until its physical home is built, WCM is dedicated to fulfilling its educational mission through its Museum Without Walls program, which has brought hands-on educational programs to nearly 3,000 children since launching in March 2010.
