Yoga For Cancer Survivorship Series

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, receiving treatment, in remission, or cured, we invite you to join us for a completely accessible, all-levels class. The goal of the class is to reduce and alleviate symptoms caused by cancer treatments while improving immune system function, and overall well being. Using an evidence informed method, students will be empowered to take agency in their healing journey through basic yogic knowledge and techniques. This class weaves together adaptable, semi-active, and gentle vinyasa practice that encourages movement coordinated with breath, and is accompanied with well-supported restorative poses, meditation, and breathwork to ensure a cancer survivor achieves the maximum benefits from yoga, including physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Aside from leaving class feeling rested, refreshed, and empowered, support from an understanding community is invaluable.
