#LLFWallSitChallenge
Back in June, the Little Lighthouse Foundation launched a wall sit challenge to raise money for our partner facilities that were affected by COVID-19. The instructions were simple:
Record a video of yourself holding a wall sit for 19 seconds (in honor of COVID-19)
Nominate at least 5 friends to do the same
Donate $19 at TheLittleLighthouse.org
All the funds raised help sustain LLF’s DGFG Programming, which encompasses all of the programs that support our partner facilities. Partner facilities include shelters, hospitals and youth organizations.
Thank you to everyone who participated! Check out more details of the #LLFWallSitChallenge

Relax. Take a deep breath. We know how stressful life can be sometimes, so we brought on a very special yoga instructor, Kristen Cooper, to host our Mindful Hour Program.
Kristen Cooper’s passion for yoga started when she was 12 years old. Growing up she played sports and her body constantly felt sore and tight, so her mother suggested yoga. It was love at first pose. Cooper currently works at Three Om Five, a yoga and health coaching studio. The studio is beginning a new initiative that brings yoga to nonprofits all across South Florida.
Each morning, Kristen wakes up and stretches her mind and her body. She shared her sun salutation routine with us and here is how to do it:
Sun Salutation
- Arms up
- Touch your toes
- Up dog
- Down dog
If these phrases are a little foreign to you fear not! The whole video is linked above so you can get first hand instruction.
