In two weeks, on Sunday, April 29, myself and over 1,000 other yogis will gather at Gillette Stadium for a day of Yoga, Music, Dance, Creative Vendors, Inspiration, PERspiration and Lots of Warm Hugs.
It’s the 8th Annual Yoga Reaches Out New England Yogathon, to benefit the Wellness Program at Boston Children Hospital.
Yoga Reaches Out harnesses the incredible power of our community to help families and sick children. We roll out our mats at this life changing, world changing event and enjoy a day filled with inspiring presenters, friends, fundraising and the power of togetherness. Aren’t we a bunch of Lucky Yogis!
The YRO organization has inspired me and my team, Team North Shore Yogis, to help the Wellness Program at Boston Children’s Hospital and the continued mission of Yoga Reaches Out. You may recall I had the great honor of being one of the featured teachers at this event 2 years ago - what an indescribable (and slightly frightening 😳) thrill to teach to over 1000 Yogis under The Patriots roof! Worth every gray hair.
In addition I have visited the BCH Wellness Program in Boston where the yoga, meditation, and reiki are shared with parents and caregivers of the patients. Through my current Solstice Yoga & Meditation Teacher Trainings - I’m raising additional Strong Teachers to help BCH increase the BCH programming up here on Boston’s North Shore.
Team North Shore Yogis has set a goal of $15,000, and it is our collective event goal to raise $500,000 this year and make a HUGE difference in the lives of children in need. This is how we take our yoga off of the mat, and into the world! Thanks to thoughtful & generous friends & family like YOU - our Team North Shore Yogis has been one of the top Yoga Reaches Out FUNdraising teams each year - the more we raise, the closer we get to the front of the stadium and most importantly the more we actually rai$e fund$ AND $pirits to help the kids and families at Boston Children’s Hospital ❤

KADRI KURGAN

A globally curious surfer since childhood, Kadri discovered yoga more than ten years ago when his physical body could no longer sustain the professional level of his surfing. Hoping to cut recovery time from a seemingly endless injury, Kadri’s body let out a huge sigh of relief when he met the mat. With dedicated vigor, Kadri began to understand yoga as a practice that not only helped sustain his passion for surfing, but also provided another way to connect his body and mind to his personal spiritual practice.

As a meditation practitioner for over 30 years, he brings presence, compassion, and tender lightheartedness to everything he does. He helps people release the self-doubt, fear, unworthiness and shame intrinsic to the human condition, and re-connects them to their childlike, playful nature and sense of belonging. Through retreats, workshops, festivals, and private healing sessions, he has touched the lives and hearts of thousands of people around the world.
His students call his positive energy “awe inspiring,” and that his courageous heart encourages them to “love in a big way, to be vulnerable, and to be powerful.”
