Here’s a no excuse way to get thee centered this Wednesday.
Yoga Co. at the Santa Monica Promenade is holding a donation only class with teacher Tiffany Russo to support Indego Africa, a charity that emphasizes entrepreneurship and independence as a way out of poverty for African women. 100% of the profits from Indego Africa go into training programs for the women in financial management and entrepreneurship, literacy, and computers. Through this effort, female Rwanda artisans are able to sell their crafts in a fair trade manner.
Yoga Co. 1408 3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica. Wednesay November 10, 7:45 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.

Get in your dog dogs this weekend while supporting a good cause. Shakti Box, the donation-based Los Feliz yoga studio, is hosting a class at the Lululemon Athletica store at the Americana at Brand in Glendale to raise funds for Sat Naam’s Yoga-in-Schools Program.
“Rock Your Body, Groove Your Mind,” a class that melds traditional yoga with cool grooves (someone named DJ Seasons will be spinning), happens this Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. It’s a 2 -for-1 class, so feel free to bring your bestie, your current fling or just come solo. It will be co-taught by Tiffany Russo who teaches “Rock & Flow Yoga” and Clio Manuelian, who leads “Yoga Body Jedi Mind,” both at Shakti Box. (Russo is also the bar manager at Teddy’s at the Roosevelt, while Manuelian is a well-known publicist around town.)
The class is part of a larger fundraising program between the studio and Lululemon. Yoga etiquette stipulates at least a $5 donation, but $10 is nicer (we’re saying this, not the Shakti babes). And donations of $25 or higher you get you a piece of children’s yoga art while supplies last.
Lululemon Athletica in Glendale; 233 S. Brand Blvd., Glendale; Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
