Relax, meditate, exercise…and support women affected by breast cancer! On Sunday, May 17, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., help raise funds and awareness for LBBC’s education and support programs at the 7th Annual Yoga Unites® for Living Beyond Breast Cancer.

What Is Yoga Unites for Living Beyond Breast Cancer?

Yoga Unites for Living Beyond Breast Cancer is an annual fundraising event that provides a way for individuals and teams to join the community in supporting women affected by breast cancer while experiencing the healing benefits of yoga. Join hundreds of women, family members, friends and community leaders on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art—one of the city’s greatest landmarks—for an energizing and inspiring yoga class led by instructor Jennifer Schelter. Samadhi Kirtan will perform during the class. Afterward, enjoy a light breakfast while browsing our healthy living exposition featuring yoga and fitness studios, healthful foods, natural cosmetics and information you can use to make good choices about your mind and body.

Please note: Yoga Unites will be held rain or shine. The Healthy Living Expo will be open throughout the event.

Who Can Participate?

The yoga class can be performed by people of any age or skill level. No prior experience is necessary. Please bring your own mat and towel!

Why Should I Get Involved?

Yoga Unites educates the community about healthy living and quality-of-life issues while creating awareness of LBBC’s mission to help women take an active role in their ongoing recovery or management of breast cancer. All proceeds help fund LBBC’s breast cancer education and outreach programs.

Yoga Unites is not only an important fundraising opportunity, but also a chance to focus on your own health. Yoga is a form of exercise that concentrates on the mind and body. It uses movement, posture and meditation to promote a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
