Film Festival Brings Yoga to Cancer Community

I’m continuously impressed by the creative ways people find to bring yoga to those who can really benefit. The latest example is from Yoga Bear, a non-profit organization that promotes yoga for health and wellness to the cancer community and beyond.

For the next month, the organization is presenting Cinemasana, an online yoga film festival, which anyone with a video camera and a computer can enter. The idea is to encourage yoga instructors to create videos of specific sequences that can benefit cancer patients and encourage them to start a home yoga practice. Anyone interested can go online and watch the videos.

On December 15, the festival’s organizers will look at the videos with the best ratings. Creators of the top five videos will be showered with swag from sponsors like Lululemon Athletica, Numi, Satya Jewelry, Dr. Hauskchka, and more.

This weekend, there is no reason not to get your asana to a yoga class!

Saturday, January 23rd is Yoga Day USA, which means there will be lots of opportunities to practice yoga for free or at reduced prices.Yoga Day gives people new to the practice an incentive to give it a try, but we can all take advantage of a free class.

Find a participating studio or teacher near you. Try a new studio or a new teacher. Bring a friend who wouldn’t join you for a class otherwise. Then, please remember to come back here and share your experience with the rest of us.
