Cowgirls vs. Cancer Fundraiser - a sweet success!
It's one of those perfect days under the Big Sky. In addition to the weather, I'm enjoying that this week promises to be fairly mellow, after a lot of excitement last week. It's nice when things balance out so well.
I'm also basking in the afterglow of Friday's fundraiser for Cowgirls vs. Cancer. We hosted an evening of yoga, meditation and the good things in life - 14 Hands wine, cheese, and La Chatelaine chocolate - at Montana Yoga Photographer's new red barn studio. We raised just over $2,000 to benefit our scholarship fund to provide healing with horses and yoga for breast cancer survivors, on a Cowgirl Yoga retreat. I enjoyed the energy of teaching almost 50 people who got on their mats for this great cause. What a fab Friday night, and a sweet success!
The Bozeman Chronicle wrote about our event, check it out here, along with a great photo of head Cowgirl Yoga wrangler Janice, Cowgirls vs. Cancer event coordinator Jessica, and me in a handstand next to my horse. The fact that Dude Boy allows me to use his shoulder as my "wall" amazes me - it's such a Yeehaw & Namaste moment.
Thank you Bozeman for supporting Cowgirls vs. Cancer!

This is such an amazing cause. I can't describe how much I love your blog. I have been riding horses and showing since I was seven years old, and I got into yoga about two years ago taking a fitness class at my college. It is so great to see these two passions of mine combined into one. The whole concept of providing healing with horses has always been of interest to me, but especially with yoga and horses for breast cancer survivors, that is something I would love to be a part of. Thank you for providing such a great blog! I really enjoy it.
