Yoga United for Ukraine
Yoga United for Ukraine is a grassroots fundraiser created on behalf of Ukrainian children and adolescents with cancer whose life-saving treatment has been disrupted by war. This campaign is organized by a team of oncology yoga therapists and yoga teachers in US, Canada, UK, Australia, and India who are long-time colleagues and members of the international Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) Yoga Special Interest Group (Yoga SIG). The mission of Yoga United for Ukraine is simple: to help alleviate suffering. This is the essence of Yoga – to practice selfless acts of kindness without expectation of return, coming from a place of love (Sanskrit: Seva).
