Yoga Bear is dedicated to providing cancer patients and survivors with more opportunities of health and wellness through the practice of yoga.

Description:
Yoga Bear is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) dedicated to providing cancer patients and survivors with more options for wellness and healing. We are harnessing a community of friends -- cancer patients, survivors, yoga experts, doctors, and volunteers-- in the San Francisco Bay area and beyond. The practice of yoga has proven 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, Yoga Bear matches 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.

History:
Yoga Bear was founded in 2006, and has since partnered with over 50 studios across the nation. Learn more at www.yogabear.org!
