Our Night with Ricky Williams

Last night, we had the pleasure of co-sponsoring Ravens running back Ricky Williams’ yoga and meditation class at Stevenson University to benefit the Ricky Williams Foundation, His foundation is a not-for-profit that provides tutorial services, public speaking programs and sports camps to youth in underserved communities. Over 15 of our teachers helped Ricky by assisting the class and demonstrating the postures. Ricky, a certified yoga teacher as well as a Pro Bowl MVP and Heisman Trophy winner, taught a Sivananda style yoga class which focuses mostly on meditation and the breath.

Camille Moses-Allen was one of our teachers to assist Ricky last night and she wrote a great blog post about her experience. You can also see pictures from the event on our Facebook page. Ricky radiates calm and peace, and we hope he continues to bring yoga to different communities.

“The focus and clarity I gained from the knowledge changed my entire life perspective; I realized that happiness doesn’t come from external objects like cars, money, fame, or even from family. Happiness is our true nature when our minds are still.” ~Ricky Williams
