The legend of the 360 Yogathon began in 2008 when the Hanover family decided to do something a little bit crazy. Jen, Val and Bruce committed to practicing yoga every day for a whole year. Their
goal – to raise $360,000 in pledges for Peace Arch Community Services.. Some people thought they were crazy, but the Hanovers stuck to their commitment and raised an amazing $60,000!
With $300,000 to go, the Yogathon is back! This time, the Hanovers are asking for a little help from their fellow yogis.
360 Yogathon II presented by Bikram Yoga White Rock and ScotiaBank is all about teamwork. Teams will complete a combined total of 360 yoga classes throughout the year with a chance to win some great prizes, including a trip for two to Mexico, a year of unlimited yoga, and more!
All money raised goes directly to Sources, the new face of Peace Arch Community Services.
Register now for 360 Yogathon II – For you, for your community.
THE TEAMS

Team “Scots Wha Hae” (Scots who have)
Ian and Sharon were both born and raised in Scotland, and immigrated to British Columbia in 1989. Ian, Sharon and their 2 daughters have lived in the South Surrey/White Rock community for 4 years and have been members of Bikram Yoga White Rock since 2008. As a husband and wife team there is a "friendly" competition to each contribute 180 classes and be known as the two Scots “who have” completed 360 yoga classes in a year.
With a "Skies the limit" attitude their goal is to raise as much money as possible. |

Kevin Boyle and Jen Hanover are team Boyle-Over
The '180 Kevathon', launched in an attempt to bring attention to Kevin, gave way to the '360 Yogathon', because raising money for charity is a much more worthy endeavor. Sorry Kev. This pic is Kev and Jen on their way to Mexico last year, so hopefully there will be another pic to post of them on their way to Mexico next year!! (from raising the most money, that is.) Dylan Stedman is also an honorary member of this team, but we have yet to get his picture. Look for team Boyle-Over, either doing yoga, or watching people around them do yoga, at a studio near you. |
