“Power For Pink”… Power in the Park’s Annual October Event!

Posted on by

“Power for Pink” was our original brain child! Originated in October of 2011 it was a combined effort from both Playa Pilates and Yoga Vista to put together a donation fitness class in support of breast cancer awareness month. After such great a great response from the National Breast Cancer Foundation and our friends and family we decided to hold a class once a month in 2012 called “Power in the Park”.  Power in the Park would pick a different charity each month and hold a donation yoga class in Concert Park.  It has come full circle and we cannot wait to share how far we have come with this special annual event on October 20, 2012. Power in the Park has raised a total of $5,106!! We will provide more raffle prices, special shirts, and refreshments for this annual Power in the Park class to make sure everyone knows this is where it all started!  See you on the grass!
