Outdoor yoga on the lawn is back for the summer at Marin Art and Garden Center!

Join Mirabai Warkulwiz for an outdoor gentle yoga practice. She has training in the Integral Yoga lineage as well as Ashtanga, and will offer a fusion of these styles.

 Practicing yoga outdoors is replenishing, healing, and grounding, it’s where yoga was intended to be practiced, on the grass and in the fresh air.

 

Please bring your mat, 2 blocks, a strap, and yoga blanket if you have them.

Wednesdays from 4:30–5:30 pm, starting July 9

$20 per class in advance | $25 at the gate

Online registration closes at 11:30 am on Wednesdays.

Register in advance for just $20 per class; drop-ins are welcome but a minimum of 8 students must pre-register for class to take place. On site registration is $25 per class.

If you are pre-registered and we have less than 8 students, you will be notified by 1pm on the day of class if it has been canceled. You will receive a refund, or you can apply it to another class.

Mirabai Warkulwiz is a dedicated yoga practitioner and teacher of over 20 years.  Her eclectic training is rooted in Sivananda, Ashtanga, Integral Hatha, and Restorative (Iyengar) yoga traditions.  She also incorporates music and chanting as she is strongly rooted in the path of Bhakti yoga.  

IRS Guidelines for Gifts from Donor Advised Funds to Support MAGC Events

Thank you for your interest in giving to the Marin Art & Garden Center events from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or Family Foundation.

We sincerely appreciate your generosity and support!

To ensure your gift follows the current IRS guidelines for DAF/Family Foundation support of an event, we would like to share the below guidelines with you.

  • Raffle tickets, tickets to galas and other special events, auction items, and benefits conferred in connection with a DAF/foundation grant are not permitted.
    • IRS has specifically ruled that fair market value associated with fundraising events cannot be separated, a practice known as “bifurcation.”
      • For example, with Edible Garden, if the price of the ticket is $200 and the FMV fair market value (non-tax-deductible amount) is designated to be $50, the donor must pay from sources other than her DAF/foundation for the full value of the ticket ($200) and not just for the non-tax-deductible amount ($50).
    • We recommend you confer with your financial advisor to confirm if any of these examples of how donors may still use their DAF to support an event would work for you:
      • A donor could sponsor the event, and not attend, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event using DAF/foundation funds and attend by purchasing an individual ticket through non-DAF/foundation funds.
      • A donor could sponsor the event, join the event as a guest of another donor/table guest, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event and host the afforded number of people at their chosen level as long as they pay for the seats at the lowest ticket price ($200 for Edible Garden) outside of their DAF.
        • As an example, a $1,500 sponsor that covers 2 guests, could pay for their sponsorship with $400 from a different source of funds, and then give an additional gift of $1,100 out of their DAF.
