Yoga Unites for Living Beyond Breast Cancer

Yoga Unites for Living Beyond Breast Cancer

Yoga Unites for Living Beyond Breast Cancer is an annual fundraising event that provides a new way for individuals and teams to support breast cancer awareness and incorporates the benefits of yoga with the community. This year’s event will be held on Sunday May 18, 2008. Located on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum - one of our city's greatest treasures and landmarks - the half-day event includes a large-scale yoga class and a healthy living expo. Hundreds of women affected by breast cancer, as well as family members, friends and community leaders will participate in this outdoor yoga class set against the Philadelphia skyline.
