Our Mission

Yoga Bear is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing cancer patients and survivors with more opportunities for wellness and healing through the practice of yoga.

We are fostering a community of friends -- cancer patients, survivors, yoga experts, doctors, and volunteers -- in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

By partnering with local yoga studios, Yoga Bear matches cancer patients and survivors with yoga classes in the community free of charge. Our collective of yoga studios are providing participants with comfortable surroundings and healthy activity beyond invasive treatments that may take place within the confines of a hospital.

Volunteer!

Yoga Bear is completely staffed by volunteers with the generous support of community members. For volunteer opportunities, please email volunteers@yogabear.org.
