My run partner Matt Hill & I shared a common dream to inspire a continent by conquering an endurance expedition, in a way that had never been done before. We wanted the expedition to be “unfathomable” to draw attention to the important cause we were running for: the health of our planet.

In keeping with Valentine's Day, The Double Lotus Heart symbolizes the relationship of the divine eternal couple, Sitaram. The lotus represents the unfolding of possibilities, purity and eternal renewal.

We know many yogis practice thoughtful consumption in their every day lives. It can be tough to remain mindful of this around holidays like Valentine's Day - when giving gifts is a way of expressing appreciation for your loved one.

We have the perfect opportunity for you to not only win your loved one a gorgeous Double Lotus Heart necklace from The Sonja Picard Collection (valued at $200), but to give a gift that shares the concept of 'seva', or service.

Join your your YYoga teachers, guest service personnel, wellness practitioners, and base camp administrators to raise money for the Excellence in Child's Health Fund at BC Children's Hospital.
