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.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... Survivors that have been given free access to yoga classes, wonderful events and monthly charity yoga classes
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... Interacting with people that have benefitted from the services
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... Very friendly! All volunteer-based and there from the goodness of their hearts
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Provide complmentary therapy (like yoga) to cancer patients all over!
Ways to make it better!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Funds
