Hi everyone,
Thanks for the input! I emailed Carmen a couple of suggestions for locations as well. We won't be able to set her up with free classes until she is out of treatment, but will be looking once she is. And Suzanne, I just wanted to say how…
That's a good list! Definitely worth checking out some of the more convenient locations. Also, be sure to get in touch with Michelle of the NYC chapter, she may be able to set you up with some complimentary classes. Looking forward to hearing about…
Thanks Suzanne
I have an outdated list of those classes here http://aredlotus.org/NYC/classes.html (scroll down). A lot of the classes seem to have stopped, at least for the summer. Suzy might have more current information. Most of the classes I know of are a bit…
I work in thre Tribeca area and live in the
southern part of Brooklyn ( Carnarsie)
Lots of yoga studios offer cancer-specific classes...for your convenience, where in the city is home/work?
For cancer patients, I am currently under treatment.
Carmen, Are you looking for YogaBear classes, classes specifically for cancer patients and/or survivors, or something else?
Good Morning,
I really need to take some yoga classes in NYC. Can anyone please help me and let me know where I should go. This is my first time and I need some help.

I am a recent cancer survivor, and would love to get into a yoga program.
I live in Colorado, are there any programs for survivors out here?

Marilou Young said… - I am Marilou. Halle T from Yoga Bear suggested that I contact you. I am a 3-time cancer survivor and have problems with my legs such as feeling pain when I kneel and squat. I have heard about the benefits of yoga and that some poses do not require strenuous leg work, so I would like to try it. Would you know where in Manhattan I could get a free pass?

- Hi Michelle, was wondering why my studio does not show up as a participating studio on the map on your site. I haven't spent enough time with this, I guess, just yet! Thanks for the help.

Susan Greenstein said… - Hi Michelle,
I joined Yoga Bear a little over 3 weeks ago. At that time, I also filled out an application online to take Yoga classes at a NY location. I haven't heard back yet as to whether my application was approved or what I need to do next to get things rolling. Could you please let me know if there is something else I need to do to expedite the process?
Thank you so much!

Lori Roach said… - Hi Michelle, I recently joined Yoga Bear after reading the article in The Daily News. I am interested in taking yoga classes and was wondering how the process works. Will someone be contacting me regarding locations and possible membership? I live in Massapequa on Long Island. Thanks for your assistance.

Jacqueline Perez said… - Thank you for responding, it's kind of cool to have someone to talk to, it's has been a hard year for me, I was reading the daily news about a young lady who also had breast cancer, I found out she was able to get a membership for yoga, I would try to apply for myself, - just have one chemo to go, and then I start my radiation, I'm being strong for my kids, they recommend exercise, but it's hard when you're weak. Could you help me. Is it expensive-Thank you for listening.
