A massive amount of new or gently read books are up for grabs at a paltry $3 or less at the first annual Karma Yoga Book Fair Saturday at Bikram Yoga Center of Tacoma. Two complimentary yoga guest passes accompany each book purchase, offering a great way to check out this unique yoga with a friend. The idea for the book fair sprang from ongoing mutual book sharing between yoga instructors and students. Instructor Scott Gordon muses, “Our students are cool people; we’re cool people, so why not see what we’re all reading?†The idea was further solidified during a teacher meeting as a way of raising funds for charities. All proceeds from book sales will go to Pierce County United Way Community Solutions Fund, which focuses on community housing, dental and medical services and after school programs for children to keep them occupied and out of trouble. The icing on this karma cake is that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match donations. Past Karma Yoga endeavors have raised hundreds of dollars for New Phoebe House, Northwest Harvest, TACID, Humane Society and others. Talk with yogis over refreshments and books or watch the Bikram Yoga Expo DVD. Saturday, Aug. 19, Noon to 5 p.m., Bikram Yoga Center of Tacoma, 3907 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, www.bikramyogacenter.com. â€" Jennifer Johnson
