A MESSAGE FROM Melissa Lemieux x nyc marathon 2024 x THAY
I am proud to share that I will be representing Three & a Half Acres Yoga in the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. Privileged to be joining 5 other runners - all of us having a unique story + a deep connection to THAY's mission which is to broaden access to yoga, breathing + mindfulness techniques, focusing on communities who have experienced trauma. THAY believes every yoga teacher needs training in trauma sensitivity + that everyone deserves access to a yoga experience, free of harm, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ability or class.
