spanning the world

in the early minutes of shiva rea's global mala teleconference call yesterday, it was amazing to hear all the beeps that announced the different callers who dialed in. and it was even more amazing to find out all the countries they were calling from! the spirited question-and-answer session must have lasted over an hour; i had to cut out before it ended to attend a meeting of my own at the office :(

there's a map on the global mala site that points out the cities that will be involved in the worldwide event. from that map, i've been able to compile a list of the yoga studios and how they plan to raise awareness in their communities. from classes in yoga studios to multi-day citywide events, and even including a class in a federal penitentiary, it's clear that the entire yoga community wants to be involved!

here's a sampling of what the global collective will be hosting on or around september 21st, 2007:
