Bend Don’t Break
Annual Campaign to Support the Veteran & First Responder community
Yoga and mediation can provide the Warrior “within” us with the valuable tools that foster the equanimity and inner resilience we need to bring back a sense of peace and ease in our lives.
As we near Veterans Day on 11.11.23 our Inaugural Bend Don’t Break Campaign will raise the necessary funds to support our mission of delivering free trauma-informed yoga to the military & first responder community here in Massachusetts.
This fall we will be calling on the yoga studio community to band together in support of those who serve. Then on Veteran’s Day we will host a special event open to the public.
Bend Don’t break Fundraiser
Our first annual “Bend Don’t Break” Fundraiser will take place at Medusa Brewing on Saturday, November 11th. The day-long event will include a special yoga session at 10:30am followed by entertainment, raffles & more all open to the public.
Space for the Brewery session is limited. Tickets available now.
Yoga Studios Supporting Those Who Serve
We are calling on the Massachusetts yoga community of studios and teachers to take part in our inaugural Bend Don’t Break campaign. You can play a direct part in our mission of bringing accessible, trauma-informed yoga, at no cost to the veteran & first responder community RIGHT HERE in Massachusetts.
Will you join us? Choose when you will host a class & contact us so we can share!
We have a number of fundraising tools and marketing materials to make your event a success.
