Power of Movement Yoga Event Update

My Yoga Online would like to share the results of the Power of Movement Yoga 2009 event. The Power of Movement is the worlds largest yoga challenge in support of arthritis research.

On Sunday, February 22, 2009, 1200+ participants took part in Power of Movement - a yoga fundraiser in locations across Canada and helped raise about $250,000 for arthritis research. Check out Power of Movement for events happening again across Canada in 2010.

The Power of Movement supports the growing efforts of the AARC. The Arthritis & Autoimmunity Research Centre (AARC) Foundation is one of the three foundations at University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, with offices at Toronto General Hospital.

The Foundation raises, manages and invests funds for arthritis and related autoimmune disease research taking place in labs and clinics across UHN. They strive to increase awareness of this large family of diseases, which affects over 4.5 million Canadians. Through leading-edge research and a greater awareness of the realities of arthritis-related diseases, we hope for a brighter future for those suffering from these debilitating conditions, and for better musculoskeletal health in Canada.
