San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 02, 2016 -- Yoga for Hope proudly showcases San Diego’s premier yoga studios and wellness enthusiasts, as they join together to raise funds for cancer research, promote the benefits of yoga, and show support for City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading centers for cancer treatment and research. Proceeds from the event benefit research, treatment and education programs at City of Hope, aiding the center’s efforts to expand awareness of the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection when battling cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases.
Seane Corn, this year’s Yoga for Hope ambassador, is an internationally renowned yoga instructor and personality.
“I’m involved with Yoga for Hope because I’m so grateful that there is a center that focuses on research, focuses on patient care, focuses on the community of disease and the impact that it has on so many people,” she says. “It’s a small amount of time, energy and effort to really make a difference in many, many people’s lives. All you need is your mat, your breath, your heart.”
