Capitol Hill Yoga is honored to join studios from across the country for the National Foundation for Cancer Research's Stretch to the Cure week, September 20-26, 2010. 100% of proceeds from the below classes will be donated to cancer research.

Wed, 9/22 - 7:45pm Level 1 Yoga (Stacey)

Discovering the root driver of actions and relationships is a critical part of the journey as a stretcher as well as a cancer researcher. Much like the unique voyage of one's body and mind through the practice of yoga and Pilates, the National Foundation for Cancer Research follows the path of distinct molecular variables that can create and prevent cancer. In our respective practices we address the important issues at the source, uniting us to work together on the Stretch to the Cure.

Let's make a difference together on and off the mat! Check out the links below to learn more about cancer prevention and detection.
