Valencia after the dana Storm
We are all aware of what happened in Valencia, the extremely catastrophic situation that Storm Dana (the name given in Spain to the torrential rain that mainly hit that province on 29 and 30 October 2024, causing the death or disappearance of almost 240 people) left in its wake and the shock wave it created on all levels. Some in our federation have experienced the consequences of the storm.
According to the information we have, one of our members in particular, Lola Ramos, has lost absolutely everything. You can read her testimony below. Raquel Abascal and Esteban Gallego also experienced considerable damage to their property. We would like to thank everyone who helped them and who showed solidarity with them, because they were in great need of it.
We know this is only a drop in the ocean, but as Yoga Sadhana and as yoga practitioners we can always do something to provide concrete help for people in distress, in particular the victims of the extreme weather in the region of Valencia.
We think that support and solidarity are more than ever necessary at the moment. For more information, please contact info@yogasadhana.eu
