Five Reasons to Attend Micro-Yoga for Microfinance
Recently, some colleagues expressed interest in a mid-day yoga class. I’d been wanting to get one together since I started at ACCION USA last April. Conveniently, a spacious and peaceful room was for rent on the 12th floor of AUSA’s New York office, perfect for a yoga class. After mulling over the perfect day and time for the class (ie. a time when busy New York professionals could find less excuses to skip) we decided on Tuesdays at 12 noon.
Micro-yoga is a 45 minute rejuvenating midday class full of stretching, deep breathing, and mind and body awareness techniques.
As a socially conscious nonprofit organization, ACCION USA understands the value of healthy and happy staff. We had our first Micro-yoga class yesterday, and it was a delightful experience. We’re welcoming members of the public to the class—here are 5 great reasons to join us!
- It’s low-cost! Your small donation for the class benefits ACCION USA
- The serene 45 minute session gives you a major boost of energy and focus
- It might be the only good reason you can find to step away from your desk
- The inner peace you create during class cultivates good decision making
- We’ll leave this fifth up to you to decide (feel free to comment)… Come and try is for yourself!

If you work in the Flatiron District this class is not to miss! Erica’s a certified Yoga teacher and really takes the time to make sure her students are using good yoga technique. My sun salutations improved remarkably after only one class with her. The nonprofit donation aspect is just the icing on the cake!

This was my first ever experience with Yoga, and I can safely say I will be going back for more next week! Erica is a wonderful teacher and it was rejuvenating to detach and be able to find peace in one of the busiest cities in the world.
