Leap In Memoriam Corey Warner Mitchell

 

 

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Corey Warner Mitchell,  Corey left this world this past Monday, October 21st, 2024, after bravely living with ALS for the past few years.

Many of you knew Corey as a co-creator of our yoga home, Leap Yoga, and we are forever grateful for his contributions in building the Leap community.

Butch, Corey’s father, recently shared a profound conversation he had with Corey about his condition. Despite the progressive loss of both upper and lower motor function and the gradual decline in his ability to speak, Corey said simply, “I don’t focus on what I can’t do, only on what I can.” This perspective is a testament to his strength and serves as a powerful reminder for us all: we are each other’s teachers. We thank Corey for being an integral part of our yoga home and for his engaging spirit. He faced his struggles and demons, as we all do. May he rest in peace and find the freedom he sought during his time with us.

In memory of Corey, we will be holding a fundraising event at Leap Yoga, 1725 Iron Point Road, Folsom, CA on Sunday, November 3rd, 2024. We will have two “Practice for a Purpose” classes in honor of Corey. Both classes will be donation based, any amount is appreciated. You can donate directly on this page or through Leap. All proceeds from donations in-studio or though our website will go to the ALS Association. Please join us as we celebrate Corey’s life and help raise funds for this very important cause. You can go to www.leapyoga.net to sign up, or just show up on the day…

 

Vinyasa with Butch 9:00am – 10:15am

Kaiut with Micheal 10:30am – 11:30am

 

We thank you for visiting our tribute page and helping us raise crucial funds to support the ALS Association and their goal to make ALS livable for everyone, everywhere, until it is cured.​

Your support, in memory of Corey, will allow The ALS Association to continue leading the fight against ALS in research, advocacy, and care services nationwide.
