Yogis Unite for CAN Cancer

Yogis Unite Bend is Central Oregon's largest one-day yoga festival and an opportunity to gather, celebrate the experience of family, and introduce yoga to those who may have never tried it. We invite you to participate in this healing practice with the Bend sun on your face and help us build a connected community through unity, acceptance and love.

Proceeds from this event are donated directly to CAN Cancer. CAN Cancer, Community Assistance for Neighbors with Cancer helps local families cover day-to-day non-medical expenses while receiving cancer treatment. 100% of your donations goes directly to the patient.
