"All of us who have felt the healing power of music know how it lifts our spirits when we are facing life's hurdles," says FRANTI. "Now more than ever we need to come together in celebration of this fact.  'Love Out Loud Yoga' will be a fun and spirited celebration of the power of community coming together to make a difference in the lives of others during times when they need music the most. It's gonna rock!"

Do It For The Love's mission is to bring people with advanced stages of life threatening illness, children and adults with special needs and wounded veterans to see any live concert by any artist in North America. Throughout history, the expression "wear your heart on your sleeve" has been a way for people to dedicate certain actions to the ones they love, as well as a way to describe people who display their emotions truthfully.  We invite all participants to attach a heart to their sleeve or wear heart inspired clothing, body art, make-up, costumes in their own unique expression of love for someone in their lives who needs some extra support and in solidarity with all of our "Do It For The Love" families.
