(New York, NY – February 5, 2013) - Globally sought-after Yogi Charu will be at the Sports Center health club at Chelsea Piers on Saturday, February 23rd to teach a yoga master class on the basketball courts at 9:00am.

Yogi Charu was personally trained in the arts of kriya yoga and tantric meditation by Anandakapila Saraswati, founder of the prestigious Bihar School of Yoga.

Proceeds from the class (minimum suggest donation of $15) will benefit the Chelsea Piers Scholarship Fund (CPSF).
