The event on November 5th will draw 20,000 participants and is the largest 5K walk event in Austin. This sponsorship is the largest in Yoga Yoga's history and involves cash as well as in-kind donations. The Yoga Yoga logo will be displayed on all registration forms, walk shirts and posters as well as banners at the event.

Recent research has shown the benefits of practicing yoga during breast cancer treatment. Studies at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston stated that "Breast cancer patients who practiced yoga during the period in which they were receiving radiation therapy reported significantly improved quality of life compared to patients who did not practice yoga during treatment."
