FAQ:
What if I don't think I can do 108 Sun Salutations?
Please don't let this keep you away from attending the Yoga Mala! While working through the physical challenge of completing 108 Sun Salutations is symbolic of both struggle and success. The practice is really about the power of community, NOT the strength of any one person. We encourage EVERYONE in the room to take care of themselves, take breaks and use the assistance of a chair if they like!
How much does each person need to fundraise for Yoga Mala?
We ask that everyone who registers for Yoga Mala contribute a minimum of $150, between the registration fee and peer-to-peer fundraising. Some folks meet their goals and others exceed them. You will not be charged if you don't contribute the full $150, but we ask that you please try!
Does my registration fee go towards my fundraising goal?
Yes! When you register as a fundraiser and purchase your $50 ticket, you will set your fundraising goal to a minimum of $150 and your $50 ticket will go towards your goal.
What does it mean to be part of a Yoga Mala Team?
When you visit our fundraising and ticketing event page, you will be able to choose to become a fundraiser. When you make your profile, you will be prompted to create or join a team. Each team will work together to fundraise and you should try to choose a team with folks you know and can work alongside. At the Mala, some teams wear coordinating outfits or practice together in a group. This is optional.
How do I create a Team Fundraising Page?
When setting up a team within our fundraising event, you will be prompted after you click "fundraise" to either create or join a team (or do neither). If you decide to create a team, others can join you! Share the link to your Team Page with your network, students, etc. Rally them to register to join you at the Yoga Mala and participate in the fundraising. Each person will have their own fundraising profile and have the option to be part of a team as well.
How do I join a Team?
Whenever someone chooses to fundraise for the Yoga Mala, they will be prompted with the option to join one of the available teams upon creation of their fundraising profile.
How do I fundraise as an individual?
If you prefer to fundraise as an individual, simply register and skip the prompt to join or create a team. You will have your own fundraising page to share with friends and family and if you decide later that you'd like to join a team, you can email liana.hardcastle@yogainaction.org to request to be added to the team of your choice.
Do I have to create a fundraising page as above?
No, you can simply purchase the $150 ticket to join us at the Mala without fundraising. In order to access the discounted $50 tickets to the Yoga Mala, you will need to create a fundraising page. That said, some folks choose to fundraise "out in the real world" by hosting donation based classes or even running a bake sale and you can still do this!
What do I need to bring to the Yoga Mala?
Please bring a yoga mat, any props you need and a water bottle. There will be tea and limited granola bars available during the practice, with food served after the class. If you need a snack to keep your energy up, bring that along. ALSO- Yoga Mala is known for some wonderful prizes and raffle offerings. In addition, there may be some shopping opportunities. Bring your wallet if you might like to shop in between your sun salutes! Finally, it can be quite chilly in the venue on a February morning, but on a sunny day, can really heat up. Dress in layers.
Where Should I Park?
The address for Rivermill at Dover Landing is 2 Washington Street, Dover, NH. Please note: the lots at the venue are reserved for tenants. Yoga Mala participants will need to park elsewhere. We will have parking attendants to direct you to additional parking and to the entrance to the venue.
There is public metered parking all along Washington Street and Central Ave. There are also two public, metered lots near Rivermill. One is directly across the street and the other is just over the bridge. Finally, the Orchard Street Garage is a short walk away. Please allow extra time to find parking and walk to the venue. Plan ahead and view the city of Dover parking info here. There is a set of stairs on Washington Street, adjacent to Fury, that leads directly to the venue entrance.
