YogaDirect.com Celebrates Yoga Month; Bring Your Yoga Mats to Free Classes & Enter An Essay Contest For A Chance To Win A Gift Certificate

(PRLEAP.COM) Yoga Month can’t get any better than this. This September, Yogadirect.com is sponsoring exciting events and activities designed to introduce the benefits of this ancient practice to the masses. New and experienced yoga fans have plenty of opportunities to join in on the fun, from attending free classes with inspiring instructors to winning a gift certificate that can be redeemed for great merchandise, such as all-in-one yoga kits.

The beautiful thing about yoga is anyone can join in – it’s a democratic activity that encourages individuals to work at their own pace. On September 20, yogis at any skill level can stop by Elizabeth Park in West Hartford, Connecticut with their yoga mats. Experienced yoga instructor and personal trainer Amy Merli, who has 200 hours of training under her belt and specializes in Vinyasa Power-based yoga, will teach a class at 1-2 p.m. Immediately following, Michael Fuchs, a longtime enthusiast and instructor of Asian meditative, martial and energetic arts, will lead a Min Zin workshop at 2-3 p.m. Fuchs has spent many years exploring the benefits of these healing practices.

All over the globe, September is a big deal for yoga devotees. It’s the month that many studios throw open their doors to embrace new and former students. Yogadirect.com is sponsoring a writing contest, so whether you are just beginning your journey as a student or have been teaching others for a decade, this is an excellent opportunity to share the impact that yoga has had on your life. For many, it’s a harmonious activity that feels good the second you start. It stretches muscles, improves balance and flexibility, and reduces stress and tension. Simply send in an essay 3,000 characters or less to qualify for a chance to win a $30 gift certificate, redeemable for gear such as yoga mats and yoga kits.

Yogis are a friendly, welcoming bunch, but that’s especially true every September when the world celebrates Yoga Month. All it really takes to start is a yoga mat or yoga kit.
