On April 28, 2009, Bent On Learning hosted its second annual gala raising funds for children’s yoga classes in the New York City public schools and youth centers. The event honored Donna Karan, founder of Urban Zen, for her efforts supporting health and healing within the community. The gala featured a performance by Sean Lennon and was attended by yoga enthusiasts including Madonna and her daughter Lourdes, Gwyneth Paltrow and Russell Simmons.
Our heartfelt congratulations to this amazing group of people for their dedication to children’s health and well-being. The organizers have worked with us in the past to host classes at the Urban Zen Center in New York City, and for a special children's day in Sag Harbor. Bent on Learning is a non-profit that provides yoga and meditation education to students in grades K through 12 in New York City public schools and youth centers with the larger goal of improving the physical fitness as well as the cognitive, social and emotional skills of young people in New York City.
