Yoga Bear

SHORT: Yoga Bear, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, promotes healing and wellness in cancer patients by offering free yoga classes at partnering community studios. Yoga Bear provides both an opportunity to find therapy in a non-hospital setting and a network of patients who can support one another.

Description:
Yoga Bear is a non-profit organization, 501(c)(3), dedicated to providing cancer patients and survivors with more options for wellness and healing. We are fostering a community of friends -- cancer patients, survivors, yoga experts, doctors, and volunteers-- starting in the San Francisco Bay area. The practice of yoga may be effective in helping people regain a vital sense of energy, physical fitness, and peace-- yet those who could benefit the most may not have the access. By partnering with yoga studios all over the Bay Area, Yoga Bear is matching cancer patients and survivors with yoga classes in the community free of charge. Our collective of yoga studios provide participants with a comfortable place and healthy activity outside the hospital and often invasive cancer treatments. Our online Yoga Bear community offers support and information exchange for people around the world.
