Yoga Brain : Turn up the HEAT

Donation protected
Hi! My name is Justine Bacon and I am a Philadelphia based yoga teacher.   

Since the very beginning of my yoga career, my work has been dedicated to creating healthy and accessible programs that empower people! While I have found a home in many studios since graduating from my 200 hour yoga teacher training, my very first creation was co-founding a yoga non-profit, serving Center City Philadelphia by offering pay-what-you-can donation classes every single day of the week!  5 years later,  and over 3,000 hours taught to many students, at many studios, I am venturing out to create my very own studio, Yoga Brain !
 
Yoga Brain  is designed to thrive on a strong connection to our community.  Beyond a new and exciting business, I want us to be a community treasure!  It is my vision to serve East Falls and our surrounding Philly neighbors through a dynamic and inspired journey of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual exploration.  We create healthy ways of being, thinking, feeling and interacting with ourselves, each other  and the world around us.  With exposure to a spectrum of yoga styles, traditions and alternative health practices, Yoga Brain  promotes growth,  transformation and holistic health for a lifetime.  You can #CreateYourConsciousness and love the life you're living!

This summer, many of my friends, family and neighbors have dedicated countless hours and lots of sweat to breathe new life into the studio space in preparation for opening day.  Being a brand new entrepreneur with a new business, my start-up budget is small and I am taking every caution to keep start-up costs low so we are set-up for success
through our first few months of operation.

To kick our efforts into a higher gear, I am launching this 1 month long crowdfunding campaign and I seek to raise $15,000 to invest in infrared heat  panels and cover installation costs.  With your help,  Yoga Brain  will use infrared to offer environmentally friendly hot yoga classes, in addition to our many non-heated classes!  There are many health benefits of infrared heat including increased flexibility, detoxification and weight loss.  Additionally, infrared heat can also assist with healing injuries and increasing circulation! Infrared works by penetrating the tissues directly, opening capillaries and allowing more oxygen and blood flow throughout the body and to injured areas.   Because infrared systems heat people and objects as opposed to heating the space itself,  heat is more evenly distributed throughout and the amount of heat lost in a space is reduced, making infrared a more environmentally friendly option!

I am looking to make both this campaign and our presence in the community a HUGE success.   Will you become part of the Yoga Brain  process?  Any and all contributions are welcomed :)

Thank you for your generosity and support!
