For the entire month of August, Yoga Public will donate all proceeds from their Karma Yoga classes to the Inner City Jr. Wesmen Girl’s Basketball program.On Friday, August 9th at 3:00 pm, former Bomber-turned-restaurant owner Obby Khan will join Bob Axworthy and other special guests in a special yoga class at Yoga Public
(280 Fort Street) to partake in raising funds for this deserving young team.
Coach Bob and Khan have also agreed to start a youth employment opportunity, by hiring some members of the basketball team at his popular restaurant Shawarma Khan.
“I like giving back to a city that’s been so great to me, and this is a perfect opportunity to give some inner city girls a better chance at success", stated Khan.
The team’s coach Bob Axworthy could not be happier with both gestures from Khan, saying that”"Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference in someone’s life, and at the end of the day that’s what it’s really all about. I’m happy for the girls, I’m happy for Obby, but I’m a little intimidated about this yoga I have agreed to do".
Bob Axworthy is an active local figure, and has helped develop several other inner city programs which can be seen at www.innercityaction.com
