Besides - having the opportunity to teach yoga in Union Square was truly an unforgettable experience! I can't wait for August 22nd!"

"Yoga for Hope is a great opportunity to connect with other local yogis in a beautiful space, practice with respected and creative teachers, and bring much-needed attention and funding to City of Hope a research hospital shedding light on the most challenging illnesses of our time."

— Megan DeBell, MD, Seattle

"I came to the Yoga for Hope event on a whim, to honor loved ones was in the back of my mind, but I received an unexpected gift of a very special yoga practice with the best yoga instructors in our region, and the shared joy of giving back with a group of like minded individuals. The bell ceremony was especially moving. I came away understanding power of our community and our asanas and fundraising can truly help City of Hope and their holistic approach to healing and research."

— Pam Davis, Associate Director of Admissions, Art Institute of Seattle

"A dear teacher of mine introduced me to Yoga for Hope in its first years here in Seattle. I've been creating my own teams, raising money, and connecting my Yoga practice together with the Seattle Yoga for Hope community ever since. Unusually inspiring locations like St. Mark's Cathedral where you absolutely feel the space fill up with well-being, honor and giving, create even more meaning to attending the event. Every year, I've felt uplifted by the connection of so many people through Yoga."
