THRIVE 2017: Yoga for Cancer
Donation protected
THRIVE UPDATE: We've raised almost $5,000 in connection with the November 4 THRIVE event -- through ticket sales, art auction bids, retail vendors and the generosity of individual donors. We're closing in on our goal and would be so grateful for your help. No donation is too small (or too large)! Thank you!

Cancer takes your breath away; yoga gives it back! As yoga teachers who have navigated the cancer path, we passionately believe that all cancer patients should have access to affordable therapeutic yoga for an extended period of time.
Consequently, Centered Wellness and Yoga for Life have hosted three previous THRIVE benefits. With funds raised at those events, we subsidized the offering of specialized cancer training for yoga teachers in 2015 and began offering FREE Yoga for Cancer classes in 2016. The goal of our classes is to support and empower individuals in cancer treatment and recovery (and their caregivers) through meditation, breathwork and appropriate movement.
Feedback from many of the 60+ individuals who participated in our classes affirms that Body/Mind/Spirit yoga instruction cultivates strength/healing and is tremendously beneficial during treatment and recovery. Participants often express heartfelt thanks for the generosity of individuals whose faces they may never see in contributing financially for their classes.
Yes, cancer takes your breath away, but yoga and acts of love give it back! Please support our efforts to continue and expand these invaluable classes!
With much gratitude,
