The 2009 Yogathon for Schizophrenia was a huge success raising more than $27,000 for the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario's Early Intervention Program and we are still accepting donations!

It may have been rainy and cold outside, but the spirit and enthusiasm inside was absolutely heart-warming.  We had yoga experts and beginners come together to breathe, stretch and relax in order to raise money to help those affected by schizophrenia.

The SSO leads the way in Ontario in raising awareness about this illness and works to elimintae the stigma surrounding it.  We focus much of our efforts on early identification of schizophrenia, a key factor in ensuring early treatment and in greatly increasing the chances of effective treatment and recovery.

A big thank you goes out to our sponsors: TD Securities, CIBC World Markets Children's Miracle Foundation, Sivananda Yoga Centre, and Roots Yoga Studio.

We would also like to thank our 2009 Yogathon instructors and entertainment:

Thank you to all those participants, donors and volunteers who supported the 2009 Yogathon for Schizophrenia and for helping us give those affected by schizophrenia a reason to hope and the means to cope.

We look forward to seeing you next year!!
