Green Monkey Mat Crawl

September is National Yoga Month, or hadn’t you heard? This is a chance to jumpstart your chakras and bend your way back to health with Green Monkey, a local balanced living company with three yoga studios around town, as they host their second annual Mat Crawl.

Participants will aim to try 30 different participating yoga teachers in 30 days between September 1st-30th to receive plenty of prizes. No more than two classes in one day are allowed — seriously, two is enough.

The Grand Prize Winner will receive a prize valued at over $5000 including a free, 200 hour level one teacher training certification course led by Paul Toliuszis, a free one year Green Monkey Membership and many other luxurious prizes.

The runner-up yogis will receive a one-year free membership to Green Monkey and each participant who completes the mat crawl will receive 1 month of free yoga at Green Monkey.

Participants can kick up good karma (and their chances to win the grand prize) through YogaAid.com, where they can register to be sponsored in their healthy living challenge. Participation costs $35 and all participants must register by September 1st at their local Green Monkey. Registration fees go directly to YogaAid.com and 305 Spiritual Gangsters, a Miami-based non-profit organization that serves people at risk or in crisis through the practice of yoga. All participants receive a free mat crawl t-shirt, 20% off retail for the month at Green Monkey, and a kick-start towards healthy living.
