Every year, 45,000 people in Switzerland are diagnosed with cancer. This turns their whole life upside down. What now? What next? Various cancer organizations ensure that those affected and those around them are not left alone. They rely on donations so that they can provide the necessary support. The Race for Life collects donations for this important cause. The focus is on the joy of life - which those affected get back to a certain extent through the support they receive. That's why the Race for Life is not a race, but pure fun for everyone who enjoys cycling, no matter how ambitious or how old, and no matter whether it's a road bike, mountain bike or e-bike. There will also be a big solidarity festival on the Bundesplatz, to which non-cyclists are also invited. We from TEAM YOGA are taking part in this event for the fourth time. Our motto: “Anyone, in any situation in life, can practise yoga”. Yoga is good for you on all levels. Physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. We are present at this event with YOGA. YOGA for health promotion/prevention, YOGA for illness… Yoga can be a valuable support for people with cancer both during and after treatment. It helps to promote and improve quality of life and brings stability and lightness to the daily lives of sick people.
For those affected by a cancer diagnosis, the diagnosis and the numerous therapies can cause exhaustion.
Will YOU be there at this event? Would you like to support TEAM YOGA and be present at the information stand for interested visitors? Visitors to the Race for Life come from all over Switzerland to the Bundesplatz in Bern for this event. YOU also have the opportunity to present your yoga studio, your yoga offers, possibly special lessons for people affected by cancer (flyers, information etc.). If you are interested, please send an e-mail to Rahel Bigler, rahel.bigler@gmail.com. We look forward to your support.
