Yoga4U with ADDIF, 2024
Uniting Hearts and Minds at "YOGA 4 U" in Ibiza: A Retrospective
On June 21, 2024, the serene Ibiza port of Es Martell hosted "YOGA 4 U" to commemorate Yoga World Day. This remarkable event brought the community together in celebration of health, mindfulness, and unity, featuring an inspiring masterclass by the esteemed Shylasvsyoga, accompanied by the soulful, improvised piano music of Lorena de Tena. Attendees were also uplifted by a motivational talk from Diana Pintado, emphasizing the importance of self-perception, self-care, and self-love.
The event was filled with unforgettable moments, the most magical being the harmonious practice of yoga at sunset. Against the backdrop of a setting sun, participants experienced a unique blend of relaxation, movement, and music—a perfect antidote to stress. Diana Pintado’s talk resonated deeply, as she highlighted the importance of recognizing beauty in everyday life and fostering self-love, leaving a lasting impact on everyone present.
"YOGA 4 U" highlighted the significance of community and connection. One of the most heartwarming aspects was the interaction with members of ADDIF, who expressed their gratitude with hugs and smiles, reflecting the event’s positive impact. While financial donations were modest, the emotional and social bonds formed were invaluable.
Organizing this event within a short timeframe was challenging yet immensely rewarding. The experience demonstrated the importance of strategic positioning and engagement in attracting donations. Ramona, a vital team member, played a crucial role, securing the majority of donations through her proactive efforts.
This event provided valuable insights for future endeavors. Our eClub, officially formed less than a month prior, has much to learn, but this experience offered a real glimpse into better organization and effective community outreach. Inspired by our success and the lessons learned, we are eager to implement new ideas and improve our strategies for the future. Our mission is to strengthen community ties and enhance our support and fundraising efforts, locally.
Yoga at sunset, the joy of giving, and the warmth of community connections—we wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Now, our goal is to get even better at this, for the world.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone involved, with special mentions to those who stood by my side: Ronnie (President Elect), Deborah (Secretary), Eva, Ewa, Tiffiny, Ramona (fundraiser extraordinaire!), and Alberto. Behind-the-scenes efforts by Denise, Ignacio, Emma, and others were equally crucial.
This truly was a team effort!
