leukemia with a spirit of grace and courage for 8 years.
A foundation ("For Katie's Sake") has been set up at the Winston-Salem Foundation to support other families going through a similar
situation. It was founded by our teacher, Karen Fitzgerald, and her family.

The next one will be held in June, 2010.
Celebrate the Summer and Winter Solstices. We do this every June and December on a Sunday
near the solstice. Led by Larry Schonhofen. Participation is free, but we ask participants to
bring money to donate to
the Clemmons Food Pantry. Visit the
108 web page to view
photos and money raised from prior years. We've raised over $5400.
Now, you're probably thinking "No way, no how - 108 sun salutations! I couldn't possibly do that many." Well, if you've
taken Level 1 classes for at least six months, you're already well on the way.
Remember, you don't have to do 108 sun salutations - many folks do fewer, even just ten or fifteen. What's important is
simply doing what you can - in good form, with confidence.
Matter of fact, Fran Gordon's participated in seven of our celebrations - and says she's never actually done the full 108
sun salutations. "I was intimidated at first, but I'm so glad I came. If all I do is one sun salutation, then that's all I
do. Once you've done it - whether you do one, twenty or 108 (which I've never done) - you won't want to miss it again. I
even came one year with a sprained ankle and it was still fulfilling."
Here's a preparation schedule to help you get ready
(it's got one schedule for those want to aim for the full 108, and a
different plan if you want to shoot for a lower number).
But as Christy Hamrick says, your normal daily yoga practice is a perfectly good way to prepare too. She originally
planned to practice the Sun Salutation every day, but ended up mostly following her usual routine chest openers to offset
sitting in cars and at desks, then down dog, mountain, warrior, sage twist, and a hip opener. She ended up doing the full
sequence of 108 salutations, along with a friend who was pretty new to yoga.
