Yoga Bear offers an excellent service to cancer patients, survivors, and the community. By providing FREE yoga classes to cancer patients and survivors, Yoga Bear is allowing these people to experience a valueable form of complemetary therapy that is normally expensive and not often covered by insurance. Yoga Bear also creates a community within its participants and volunteers by putting on frequent events that bring everyone together. I recently volunteered at Yogapalooza where there were yoga classes all day in Golden Gate Park benefitting different cancer organizations. It was so beautiful to see survivors and family members and volunteers all practicing together and sharing that experience.

I was a Volunteer & As a volunteer and adviser for this organization, I've taught community yoga classes by donation, worked with a team of deaf students doing yoga and community service, and help Yoga Bear organize fundraising events and outreach.

Yoga Bear has been a wonderful opportunity for me to give back to the community. I can honestly say I've never worked with such passionate, dedicated, and motivated volunteers as I have with Yoga Bear. Cancer is a cause close to my heart and I've experienced the healing benefits of yoga in my own life, so I am thrilled to working to help get more healing opportunities through yoga available and accessible to those who need it. I look forward to doing more with Yoga Bear as they continue to grow and expand their work.
