Parati Yoga & Wellness is excited to announce that our Charity of the Month is Women In Ninja, an organization dedicated to empowering women of all ages in the sport of ninja and encouraging greater female participation. We are proud to be a sponsor of this inspiring event.
The Mission of Women In Ninja
Women In Ninja aims to level the playing field in a sport where men and women traditionally run the same courses. This can be particularly challenging for women due to differences in strength and reach. The event seeks to create an inclusive environment where women can excel by designing courses specifically with female athletes in mind and offering varying levels of difficulty, ensuring that even newcomers to the sport can participate and succeed. The dedication and love for this sport shown by Kelea Robertson, founder of Women In Ninja, ninja coach, and athlete (Instagram), and Corey Depape of N&M Obstacle Design (Instagram) are vital to the success of this event.
Bringing Empowerment to Female Competitors
The vision for Women In Ninja was realized in the USA, where the second annual competition in Orlando was a resounding success. Now, we are thrilled to partner with Megan Budway, founder of the Women's Ninja Association and known as @the_musicninja (American Ninja Warrior), to bring this empowering event to Canada. Our collaboration aims to inspire and support female ninja athletes, providing them with a platform to showcase their skills and determination.
Special Meet and Greet: Megan Budway will be hosting a Meet and Greet at WEM on August 31, 2024. Be sure to follow Women In Ninja for more details or email them directly at womeninninja@gmail.com.

Why Parati Yoga & Wellness Supports Women In Ninja
At Parati Yoga & Wellness, we are committed to promoting health, wellness, and empowerment for all individuals. Supporting the Women In Ninja event aligns with our mission to inspire and uplift women in their pursuits, whether through yoga, mindfulness, or challenging physical endeavors like ninja competitions.
This cause is especially close to our hearts as my daughter, alongside her brother, has been a loyal ninja since 2020. It's been a tremendous journey to see her growth in the sport while battling arthritis. Her perseverance and dedication have been truly inspiring, and we want to support other women in their ninja journeys.
By supporting Women In Ninja as our Charity of the Month, we are helping to create opportunities for women to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated sport. Join us in supporting this fantastic cause and celebrate the strength, agility, and spirit of female ninja athletes. Together, we can make a difference and empower women in all their endeavours.
