For those of you who came of age in the '90s (like I did), the suffix "palooza" may bring to mind images of Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, and (my personal favorite) The Smashing Pumpkins. Lollapalooza was kind of like our Woodstock; even though it didn't have a political bent, it was our day to let loose and rock out. In a way, that is also what Yogapalooza is about—minus the music.

Yogapalooza is a full day of yoga in Golden Gate Park this Sunday. The entire event, which was spearheaded by Yoga Bear, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people with cancer, benefits nonprofit organizations aimed at helping cancer patients and survivors. The orgs that will benefit are:

• Children's Cancer Community
• I'm Too Young For This
• Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
• Women's Cancer Resource Center

Classes happen all day with a long list of teachers. To see the full schedule and the exact location in the park, check out the Yogapalooza site. There's also a silent auction that includes lululemon goods, Berkeley Ironworks climbing classes, and a one-year subscription to Yoga Journal. Sweet!

Sure, you won't get to peep Cat Power or Jeff Tweedy on the main stage (they're playing at Lollapalooza this year in Chicago), but you will get to do one of your favorite things all day long and for a great cause. And if you are wondering about the name of the event, the actual meaning of the word "lollapalooza" is a "remarkable or extraordinary thing". So the naming of Yogapalooza seems right in line.

If you go to Yogapalooza, please comment below and let us know how it was. (And if you want us to post your pictures, say so in a comment, and I will let you know how to get them to me!)
