About the Cause: Animal Rescue Center in India
During our 300 hour yoga teacher training in India earlier this year, Wave Yoga Instructors Monica and Julia had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with ARC, a local rescue center in Goa, India. Seeing firsthand the tireless dedication of their team to care for abandoned and injured animals was truly inspiring. We were moved by the compassion and resilience of the animals and wanted to bring a piece of that mission home. A portion of all proceeds from this event will go directly to ARC to support their ongoing rescue, rehabilitation, and advocacy work throughout South Goa.
