Susan Reeves and Pamela Ryan met at a local yoga studio in 2007, where they were teachers. There, they discovered a mutual appreciation and passion for yoga as a coping strategy as well as physical exercise. Over time, both Susan and Pamela were approached by students who had been diagnosed with cancer.  

With help from doctors and nurses at Texas Oncology, plus funding from Foundation56 and retired Dallas Cowboy Bradie James, Susan and Pamela were able to start the first yoga for cancer program in 2011 at Denton Regional Medical Center in Denton, Texas. From there, Yoga Bridge was born.
