On January 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the island of Haiti, devastating the capital and largest city, Port-au-Prince. The International Red Cross estimated that about three million people were affected by the quake. At least tens of thousands of people were killed, many are still missing. We at Off the Mat, Into the World believe in the power of the yoga community to come together to make a difference. Therefore, we organized the yoga community around Yogis for Haiti day on January 27th, 2010 and invited the entire yoga community to unite our intentions and efforts for Haiti relief efforts.
Thank you again for your commitment and contribution to YOGIS FOR HAITI DAY on January 27th, 2010.
With over 40 studios participating from around the world, we raised over $17,700 (and counting) in one day! We demonstrated our ability to come together as community, rally for a real-time and important cause and make a difference. Our collective efforts will have a significant impact on Partners in Health, who has been on the ground in Haiti for over 20 years. They are working to bring immediate and long term support to the victims of the recent earthquake. Check out some of their stories from the field:

On behalf of Seane Corn, Hala Khouri, Suzanne Sterling and the Off the Mat team, we want to thank you for your participation in this effort. OTM believes in the power of the yoga community to unite around real change in the world. We are inspired by how the global community mobilized around Haiti relief efforts and look forward collaborating more in the future.
Thank you for your intention, collaboration and action.
With Gratitude,
