This week, over 20 yoga studios in Philly, New Jersey and New York are banding together to put on a giant fundraiser in support of the International Rescue Committee, an organization that helps to relocate and rebuild the lives of refugees.

The yoga studios — spots like DIG, Dhyana, Palo Santo Wellness Boutique and more — will be holding donation-based classes or giving proceeds from their online sales throughout the week to support IRC, with most classes happening on Wednesday, the 23rd. To join in, just pick a studio from the list below (we’ve included all the participating studios in Philly and New Jersey), head to class with a donation in pocket and get your downward dog on. Yeah, doing your good deed for the day is that easy.

And a note to all Instagram addicts: If you head to one of the yoga classes and happen to take a selfie, make sure to use the fundraiser’s hashtag #yoga4freedomjourneys.
