The yoga event was held at the home of Providence Saint John’s Foundation Trustee Mary Flaherty and successfully raised funds to support the creation of a new Yoga Program for patients undergoing breast cancer treatment. “Because of the many demonstrated benefits of yoga, we want to offer classes free of charge to our patients”, Dr. DiNome explained. Yoga teacher and cancer survivor, Kamla Submanranian, will teach the classes. “I am delighted to be sharing a practice that has brought such a transformation to my own life,” said Kamla. newstjohns.org
