<div>Dear Bhakti Community and Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We, Cibele Bossi and Solana Prema Torres, long-time bhaktas and part of the Bhakti Yoga Shala community for many years, have started this fundraiser to support our beloved teachers, Govind Das (Ira) and Jacqueline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our cherished spiritual leaders and founders of Bhakti Yoga Shala, Govind Das and Jacqueline, have suffered a devastating loss. Their home in Pacific Palisades was destroyed in the recent wildfires, displacing their family, including their children, Malakai and Ruby, who have also lost their school.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, Govind Das and Jacqueline have been pillars of the Bhakti community in Los Angeles and beyond, touching thousands of lives globally through their teachings, music, and unwavering commitment to spreading love and devotion. They have created a sanctuary of light and love, fostering a community built on compassion, spiritual growth, and service.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, in their time of need, we have an opportunity to give back. Any funds raised will go toward the incurred expenses of this trying time in their lives not covered by insurance or FEMA.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Your Support Will Help:
</div>
<div>• Immediate Living Expenses: Covering essentials such as clothing, food, and temporary housing.
</div>
<div>• Renting a New Home: Providing a safe and stable place to restore their sense of security and comfort.
</div>
<div>• Educational Needs for Malakai and Ruby: Ensuring continuity in their education and emotional well-being during this transition.
</div>
<div>• Supporting Bhakti Yoga Shala: Sustaining the operations of the Shala, a spiritual haven that has uplifted so many.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact. Together, we can support this incredible family who have devoted their lives to uplifting others. In addition to financial assistance, your prayers, love, and messages of encouragement are deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity and compassion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Cibele Bossi &amp; Solana Prema Torres

Angie Maguire

My name is Angie Maguire, and I’m the owner of Ocean 8 Yoga, where I teach chair yoga, mobility, and movement classes for older adults and people with chronic conditions. As a certified personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, I lead more than 20 chair classes each month, in addition to traditional yoga classes. I’m passionate about making movement accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability. 
<br>
<br>
 Recently, I was accepted as an affiliate for Rock Steady Boxing, a world-renowned, non-contact boxing program designed specifically for people with Parkinson’s disease. With this certification, I’ll be able to offer specialized classes right here in our community—giving people with Parkinson’s access to training and support they currently do not have. Your donations will directly support my Rock Steady Boxing coach training, the first-year affiliate fee, and travel to Miami for the required two-day training. Stafford Township Recreation, where I already offer yoga and chair exercise, is supporting my idea to add more mobility-enhancing classes. Rock Steady Boxing can help improve balance, strength, coordination, mood, and overall quality of life. Like my current programs, these classes will be offered at a suggested donation so that anyone can participate. 
<br>
<br>
 This mission has become deeply personal for me. In recent years, a few people very close to me have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I’ve witnessed firsthand the physical and emotional challenges they face, and I’ve also seen how empowering the right kind of exercise can be. These experiences have reinforced my commitment to serving this community in a bigger and more specialized way. I’m asking for your support to help bring Rock Steady Boxing to Southern Ocean County, so together we can make a real difference in the lives of those living with Parkinson’s.
