“We Battle to Raise Awareness, Spread Yoga, and Have Fun!”
Battle Asana is a fun event created around the game Y-O-G-A (similar to H-O-R-S-E or S-K-A-T-E) where players go back and fourth setting yoga poses to be completed by the other player until one spells the word YOGA. The game was created to raise awareness and spread yoga. Through mindfulness the game Y-O-G-A inspires yogis all over the world to learn new postures, balance their strengths, and have fun with their friends. Yoga Asanas (the physical yoga moves) are challenging and come with consistent practice. We want to inspire everyone to practice yoga, be more aware, and discover what yoga means to you.
Our goal with the Battle Asana Event is to have fun, entertain, and raise awareness for the yoga athletes and their causes. We want to shine light on the yoga asana events that take place in the world and progress the sporty nature and lifestyle of yogi’s in a fun and exciting way. Alongside the athletes are their charitable organizations they have chosen to raise money and awareness for. Some have family members who are directly affected by and benefit from these organizations. We Battle for our mission to spread yoga, raise awareness, and keep yogis thriving!
What or Who do you Battle for? We love to balance out the fun with real cash money for the players and the causes. Its The Yogi WAY. Tickets to the events are donation based with a suggested min donation of $10 or more to be donated evenly to the players selected causes. We will also be selling custom apparel to help raise funds for future events, donations, and prize money.
Next Battle will take place Sunday April 23rd at 2pm at Bikram Yoga Richardson. See You there along with:
