In less than one week valley residents and Coachella Valley visitors will be striking a pose for “Poses on Paseo,” at the Gardens on El Paseo. The valley wide event is designed for everyone who loves fitness and enjoys a healthy lifestyle. The two-hour yoga event does not require you to be a yoga enthusiast. Everyone is encouraged to join in this charity event benefitting the Coachella Valley Volunteers in Medicine. Founder, Johnny Yuhas, (RN & RYT 400) is passionate about serving our valley plus providing yoga and raising awareness and funds for CVVIM. This is an excellent opportunity to get involved, make a difference and give back to your community.
Five valley yoga instructors will lead the two-hour practice. Johnny Yuhas, Bronwyn Ison, Kristin Olson, Jayne Robertson and Stephen Kaleda will take you on a yoga sojourn. The yoga practice will be accompanied by a musical performance featuring recording artist, Larisa Stow and the Shakti Tribe. Participants will enjoy a post practice performance and social hour accompanied by vegetarian cuisine. Everyone will be able to enjoy our beautiful sunny weather on the second floor of the parking deck at the Gardens.
Johnny Yuhas tells us he is inspired to present this event for numerous reasons. Poses on Paseo is truly just an extension of my donation based yoga practice and philosophy making yoga available to anyone. My current ambassador role with lululemon, presented a great opportunity to represent what it means to serve our community as nurse and health and wellness professional. The event is in-line with my passion for seva (service) directly benefiting Coachella Volunteers in Medicine, a much needed local clinic providing full spectrum health care to the non-insured residents of our desert. I have seen the end result of patients who have fallen through the cracks of the health care system during my 8 years of ER work. Volunteers in Medicine serves as a safety net for these patients and gets them healthy and back into life, ultimately keeping our community alive.
