The Roaring Fork Valley yoga community is coming together this month for “The Gift of Gratitude,” a chance to give back and try something new.

Devised by The Aspen Yoga Society and lululemon athletica Aspen, the Gift of Gratitude offers residents a chance to try all of the different yoga studios in the valley for free from Nov. 1-20; the only catch is that they must donate non-perishable food to Lift Up in exchange for the class.

Lift Up has been serving the Roaring Fork Valley for over 30 years, providing essential humanitarian services. According to Lift-Up personnel, during the holidays there is always great need.

The promotion will culminate with a free community yoga class at Aspen High School on Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. in conjunction with the Aspen TREE free community meal. All participants are encouraged to volunteer to help at the meal, which served over 1,000 people last year, according to Aspen TREE Founder Eden Vardy.

Participating studios include: The Aspen Club and Spa, Arjuna Yoga Aspen, O2 Yoga Aspen, King Yoga Aspen Business Center, Le Cercle Studio in Basalt, Bikram’s Yoga College of India in Basalt and Carbondale, and Kula Yoga in Carbondale.
