We kindly ask our community to have their wrapped gifts with name tags for each child presented to the studio by December 21st. Let’s come together to ensure that this family feels the warmth of our support this holiday season!

As we gather to support this beautiful family, let’s remember the words of William Arthur Ward: "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." Your generosity not only fulfills wishes but also strengthens our community and warms our hearts.

From all of us at Nanaquaket Yoga Studio, we wish you love and light this holiday season. Together, let’s make their Christmas dreams come true!

With love and light,  

Your Yoga Family at NYS
