Side by side alongside anxious pols working the crowd and cutting deals in the Mile High city of Denver at the Democratic National Convention will be .. non-partisan yogis? Yoga Month Denver Health Festival, sponsored by the DNC Host Committee and The City of Denver Office of Cultural Affairs will sponsor the non-partisan Yoga Month Denver Health Festival. From The Rocky Mountain News:

"'It's all about health, a healthy lifestyle and yoga,' said Johannes Fisslinger, president of Yoga Health Foundation, the nonprofit organization in charge of the festival. 'We want to invite people to attend and learn about healthy living and yoga, and the health benefits of yoga especially.'"

Off the top of our heads we can think of quite a few pols that could benefit from a soothing yoga workout at the Minsuk Cho Architectural Pavilion for Public Discourse. Proceeds from the events which take place on August 24 and 25 will benefit Youth Health Alliance, a charity that provides free yoga inspired enrichment classes to underserved youth and their families.
