We want to end 2020 on a positive note with our #Yoga4Every1 Challenge. Each week we'll share a yoga pose from our new Yoga4Every1 Book spreading awareness about diversity and inclusion in the wellness industry. We want to provide access for everyone to come together to learn some yoga and support our programming in Chicago Public Schools.
This Challenge is a choose your own adventure. It starts with the yoga pose of the week. It includes weekly virtual classes sent out every Monday. You can also join us for a Run Tour with Erica Agran. We will be hosting a 5K in Lincoln Park on Friday, November 20th at 7:30am and/or an 8K downtown Sunday, November 29th at 9:00am. More details on the Run Tours below.
How it works:
1. Donate what you can. Donations can be made through Venmo: Wellness4Every1 or on our GoFundMe page. The suggested donation for this month’s challenge is $30.00 but we encourage everyone to join regardless of your contribution.
2. Every Monday, you’ll receive an email with the yoga pose of the week and our favorite virtual classes. This email will include information about how to register for the Run Tours.

Run Tours
This challenge includes a huge perk! Anyone who joins the #Yoga4Every1 Challenge will be able to register to attend a 5K and/or 8K run tour in Chicago led by Erica Agran! Erica is launching Chicago running tours for Go! Running Tours. (https://gorunningtours.com). She's going to lead a few of the new tours for us as a perk this month.
Running tours are a fun way to get in a few casual miles while learning new things about your city. It's not a race and there are stops for photo ops and to learn new things. You can stop for a shot of the yoga pose of the week in front of a Chicago landmark! Details below.
