Yoga Local NYC, the first "Find-a-Yoga-Class-Anywhere" iPhone App, is teaming up with LUNA®, The Whole Nutrition Bar for Women®, to distribute more than 1,000 free class passes to 50 yoga studios in New Jersey and New York. Each week during the six-week LUNA Free Yoga Series, which runs from July 1 to August 17, Yoga Local NYC will post a list of studios on its website that are offering free class passes. The free passes will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for new students at each of the studios. Garden State Yoga in Bloomfield, Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, Verona Yoga and Wellness Center in Verona, and Devotion Yoga in Hoboken are some of the New Jersey yoga centers participating.

 The 2012 LUNA Free Yoga Series will also support the efforts of Kula for Karma, whose work is improving the lives of New York and New Jersey residents through the transformative power of therapeutic yoga and meditation. Make a suggested donation of $10 or more to Kula for Karma via the DONATE button on KulaForKarma.org/luna.html and you'll be entered to win a free month of yoga at the studio of your choice. 

 "We are so excited and grateful to be a part of such a multifaceted campaign that not only introduces more people to yoga but also to Kula for Karma," says Geri Topfer, president andfounder of Kula for Karma. "The funds raised throughout the Luna Free Yoga Series will allow us to further develop and implement our yoga therapy programs across the greater metro area.” Those programs serve “individuals who are battling a variety of challenging life circumstances including illness, addiction and abuse with the healing power of yoga and meditation."
