ORLANDO – Saturday, April 1 – WWE®, Susan G. Komen®, and Manduka, the world’s most respected brand in yoga, teamed up for a project:OM yoga event with E! News host Maria Menounos and 2017 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee Diamond Dallas Page at Full Sail Live in Winter Park. WWE Ambassador Dana Warrior, and WWE Superstars Titus O’Neil and Natalya also participated today to lead more than 150 WrestleMania super fans in a project:OM yoga class in support of project:OM.
Project:OM is a partnership between Susan G. Komen and Manduka to bring together one million yoga participants to promote health and wellness and raise millions of dollars in support of Susan G. Komen’s Bold Goal of reducing breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the U.S. by 2026. One hundred percent of all donations will be used to support breast cancer research and community programs across the U.S.
At the event, WrestleMania super fans, yogis and Orlando citizens impacted by breast cancer participated in the event. Diamond Dallas Page led his trademark DDP yoga program in a challenging yet beginner-focused class open to all.
Today officially launched project:OM’s “M Challenge,” a social challenge to encourage participation and help spread the word about project:OM. The “M Challenge” encourages people to grab a friend and do two downward dogs to create an “M” then post on social media with #projectOM, tagging friends and inviting them to take the challenge.
