PROJECT:OM

Manduka and Susan G. Komen have partnered to launch project:OM  — a yoga class of one million to battle breast cancer. The movement will include national events, local donation-based yoga classes, live-streamed classes and an exclusive project:OM retail collection.

project:OM’s debut event will take place on Mother’s Day weekend 2017. The event aims to unite individuals, families and the yoga community to raise funds to support Komen’s vision of a world without breast cancer, all while supporting the idea of equal access to health and wellness for everyone.

Interested participants can get involved in a local project:OM event by visiting projectOM.com. There will also be a session via a digital livestream yoga class — held on Saturday, May 13 — led by instructor Adriene Mishler.

Manduka has designed a variety of project:OM products for sale including: a limited edition, beginner-focused and reversible yoga mat; mat towel; hand towel; three pack headband set; and mat carrier strap. Komen will receive 10 percent of the retail sales price for each specially-marked project:OM product sold between March 1 – December 31, 2017 on manduka.com and at select yoga studios and retailers.
