Join us at Modo Yoga Seattle on Fridays at 7:30pm for karma yoga in support of WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc.). Throughout February your $5-$10 donations will help sustain their efforts “to actively rehabilitate and preserve Australian wildlife and inspire others to do the same.” With catastrophic fires, the worst drought in history and record breaking high temperatures taking a tragic toll on native wildlife, your support is needed now more that ever.

With the worst Australian fire season on record, WIRES will be focusing on increasing their capacity to rescue and care for more individual animals and pursuing additional opportunities to help wildlife more broadly, including partnering on projects to improve long-term outcomes for native animals.

In the first week of January WIRES received over 7,800 calls and volunteers accepted over 1,000 rescues to assist sick, injured and orphaned native animals. As WIRES volunteers continue to rescue and care for animals, they are witnessing a tragedy unlike anything previously experienced in decades of work with Australian wildlife. In early January experts estimated over 1 billion animals have been effected and that number will only continue to rise. With the fires destroying unprecedented amounts of habitat, your karma donation will help more than ever before.

In addition to our regular karma classes each Friday night, Kendra and Kevin are leading a special 2-hour yoga/dance event on Saturday, February 8th at 7pm to raise more awareness and funds for the cause. Join us for Movement As Medicine with a suggested $10-$20 donation!
