ART OF LIVING
Yogathon is organized and executed by volunteers of the Art of Living Foundation, a non-profit humanitarian NGO. We are a team of dreamers who believe that we have the power to change the world, one yoga pose at a time! The commitment and generous support of our volunteers helps keep costs down which enables countries who are fundraising to direct more money to children's education. www.artofliving.org
