yoga2all
Warren Buffet said recently: In life and at a certain age, the moment comes when it s a duty to give back to society great part of what we have learned and earned . I would like to say that I would have earned the same money as he did, but it s obvious that s not the case. But we really share this same kind of philosophy.
What God gave me in this very life as His personal gift is the discipline to go through permanent changes with grace and gratitude. I was born in a very Catholic, French and conservative family. And this very conservative family produced a Benedictine monk -priest and quite a famous theologian-, a Buddhist and a Sikh and Kundalini Yoga Teacher, me. Because of my father s job, I had the opportunity, as a child and a teen, to reside in numerous countries. And since my twenties, I have been living in Mexico. This kind of life with constant cultural changes made me a real citizen of the world: open minded to all kind of ethnic, religious, racial differences and very keen to have a role in social responsibility. That s how, in the prime of life, I am privileged to finally reach the spiritual stage of living with joy and gratitude. I feel blessed -literally in bliss- to come forward and declare to you: it s time to serve and share . And I am here with you to share my dream and project, of this stage of my life.
During these last thirty years, I felt it was marvelous to be privileged and serve privileged people, teaching them all kind of techniques of yoga and meditation, but I always felt the deepest need, in my soul, to find a dignifying way for the teachings of yoga and meditation to reach out people with no means of support
My personal deepest spiritual and social quest has been for a long time: How to share my blessings with all these people?
Now that I formulated the program yoga2all that I am presenting to you now, I am convinced that there is a gracious way to deliver. What does yoga2all mean? yoga2all means really yoga to all the people . And there is, in fact, a simple way to share what I have learned through all these years, in order to give to all the people, who obviously decide to do so, the opportunity to obtain a better health, to be more conscious, to take better decisions, and to grow as a person to their maximum manpower. After all, isn t that the real purpose of yoga? The path to catch up with my dream is a simple one and is really cost effective, spreading the teachings of yoga and meditation, through our program.
You may not have noticed, but in all these past years, millions of people have transformed their lives practicing yoga and meditation and yoga and meditation revitalize totally their lives.
But it s a fact that an other great number of people, the majority, have no sufficient means to supporting their quality of life. They don t even think of it. It s not even in their wide-angle considerations. Surviving is their priority, because it s what society offers them. They do not have the choice. yoga2all will give them the choice. yoga2all will give them the opportunity to be conscious of their evolution and education as citizens because yoga and meditation is a social good. Our experience participating in social programs including yoga and meditation, with NGO´s, at prison s facilities, in government s institutions, and at a large scale, proves us constantly how people going to yoga classes, participate with special gratitude learning this technology. But we do not want anymore to be dependent on good will and subsidies. We want the people to feel that they give some energy and receive some energy back, that their destinies are kept in their own hands, that they own the right to give something and receive back their own dignity: that s what yoga2all is all about!
And how does yoga2all work? yoga2all work on a collaborative basis, among, on one hand, individuals, institutions, NGO´s, yoga/fitness centers or businesses, who facilitate a certain space or room with certain specifications, requiring only basic needs for practicing yoga; on the other hand, we have certified International Yoga Alliance teachers who will give the classes; and finally, us, the founders, as third players, who will work as a corporate marketing and managing office, so to say. The three players have their own obligations and rights. The three parts shares equal part of the income (30%), which has been generated through minimal suggested donations of 30 Mexican pesos paid by the students who go to class (equivalent to around $ 2.40 USD). The 10% that is left stays in a special fund for social wellness programs managed by a Board of Trustees.
yoga2all works with a minimal managing system. It requires a lot of local promoting, internet networking, viral marketing and institutional support. To make yoga2all viable and prosperous, depend on how quick we reach a first stage of a minimal critical mass in every class, which are around thirty students. We will be begining with Mexico but we want to reach step by step, as many people in the world as possible! That is why we need your support now!
The philosophical concept, the minimal set of very clear rules, the simplicity of the legal contracts, the easy systems, the transparent quality insurance processes make it happen quickly and guarantee the long run success of the program.
We want to make sure that you know that we will put all our talent, our experience and our grace to make it happen. It is our prayer that our program yoga2all will be expanding through all out the world whenever it ought to be. We believe in viral and social networks marketing. We believe in organic growth. We believe in all the people. We believe in our dream. We deeply know that it will serve the needs of hundreds of thousands of people in their professional and family lives.
Thanks to these techniques of yoga and meditation, supported by our simple philosophy, values, management and systems that match our times and by the good will of the players, the people who participate to the classes will acquire the skills to improve their quality of life and face their destinies with more joy, peace of mind and creativity. Thanks to you, it is already happening!
