Miracles for Maks: an Alignment Vinyasa Fund-Raiser with Danielle Vardakas
Maks Zielanski is a friend of Danielle's Family. When Maks was 22 months ld he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. The little hero rescued himself with his own stem cell transplant, battled back from near death on Christmas day, and now has officially turned the tide on the cancer. There is still work to be done. He continues to face radiation and immuno-therapies but it won't be to kill the cancer, it will be to prevent it from returning. Please click here for more information on Miracles for Maks.
We hope you join us on your mat for an Alignment Vinyasa workshop with the intention to help this sweet little boy.

If you run, walk, hike or play sports, this is the workshop for you! But

A series of Awareness Through Movement classes will enable you to make
dynamic improvements in your walking and running. Uwe will focus in this
workshop on the coordination between shoulder and hip movements and how to
use your whole body to walk or run faster with less effort and pain.
