April Hill, one of the founders of the event and owner of Yoglates II South, is passionate about Yoga on the Lawn’s impact in the community.
“What’s so great about this event is that we’re able to introduce people to yoga and help raise funds that will directly support cancer patients and their families locally,” said Hill. “My dear friend and fellow Yoglates instructor Tanie Bush received incredible care from the Cancer Center and it is an honor to host this event for her and all of those affected by cancer in our community.”
Tickets for Yoga on the Lawn are $40 prior to the event and $50 at the door. A limited number of VIP spots are available for $100. You can also sign up ten of your friends or family as a team and showcase your spirit with T-shirts, props or other fun ways to show unity in the fight against cancer.
