Founded in 2006, Yoga Bear supports the belief that cancer
patients and survivors can benefit from yoga as a complementary
treatment in cancer recovery. Currently, Yoga Bear works with more
than 120 yoga studios across the nation.
To date, Yoga Bear is partnering with six yoga studios in
Florida. Miami Life Center, Red Pearl Yoga (Ft Lauderdale), Sanc-
tuary Yoga (Gainesville), Yoga Center of Stuart, Yoga Institute of
Broward (Cooper City), and Yogarosa (Hallandale Beach) plan to
donate mat space to cancer survivors who sign up through Yoga
Bear. “I am looking forward to sharing the healing gifts of yoga,”
said Rosa Santana, owner of Yogarosa.
The Florida chapter will be led by volunteer Jessica Fox. Fox
graduated from the University of South Florida and is currently
pursuing a graduate degree in Rehabilitation and Counseling at
USF. Fox is confident of the future success of Yoga Bear in Florida.
“There are a multitude of yoga studios throughout the communi-
ties, in addition to the many hospitals, universities, and non-profit
organizations we can utilize to help us with our endeavor,” said
Fox. “I welcome the opportunity to be part of an organization that
provides free yoga classes to cancer survivors.”

course “Awakening the Buddha Within”. As we gradually replace
our habitual self-cherishing with a genuine cherishing of others, we
find our powers of transformation increase. Eventually we reach the
point where we can transform any situation, however unpleasant,
into a positive experience and an opportunity to make progress in
our spiritual development. In this way, we discover our Buddha
nature, our limitless potential for positivity and happiness. Applying
these methods in our everyday life will lead to happiness, and a
sense of purpose and harmony in our relationships. This day course
is about transformation.
Course will be held at Drolma Kadampa Buddhist Center,
140 West Prospect Rd, Oakland Park, Ft Lauderdale 33309, on
Sunday, May 3, 9:30am-2pm. Cost is $35 ($20 students/limited
