"Yoga, Poga, Shmoga!"

Join us for this special yoga story time with Sonia Jones, a renowned wellness advocate, philanthropist and devoted yogi who sponsors a research program on children and wellness at Stanford, is the co-founder of Sonima.com and the Sonima  Foundation, and whose mission is to make health and wellness available to everyone.

She'll be in conversation with Sharath Jois who was born to a family synonymous with Ashtanga Yoga. He began to learn yoga postures at the age of seven and at nineteen took up a dedicated yoga practice with his grandfather, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji). Sharath  taught alongside Guruji and then took on the mantle of his grandfathers Institute, renaming it the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute, and striving to continue Gurujis legacy as its Director. Today, he keeps Gurujis teachings alive at the Institute in Mysore.

Yoga Poga Schmoga! is an endearing story about the resiliency of a sibling relationship, tested when Mitzi chooses to practice yoga with her friends instead of hanging out with her younger brother, Axel. Feeling left out, Axel scorns his sister's new activity with his dismissive catch phrase, "Yoga Poga Shmoga!" When his sister offers him his own yoga mat, Axel gives in, imagining his yoga mat as a magic carpet and on it, learns some yoga poses. He is soon reveling in the calming, joyous nature of yoga and inspires their whole neighborhood to practice in unison.

Yoga Poga Shmoga! helps children and families learn about the benefits and the enjoyment of yoga and encourages families to incorporate an active, healthy lifestyle into their everyday lives. 100% of the authors proceeds will be donated to the Sonima Foundation, which provides dynamic health and wellness programs to children across the country.
