Oncology Yoga is a research based, specialized methodology tailored to address the specific physical and emotional needs left by cancer and its treatments. It is an active practice that matches breath and movement to mitigate short and long term side effects that cancer patients and survivors face like bone loss, lymphedema, scar tissue, neuropathy, fatigue, anxiety and many more.
Whether you are a cancer patient, survivor, newly diagnosed, in treatment, gathering strength or thriving, or a caregiver, yoga can further your recovery and help you feel whole again. Because all yoga is not the same, this class is taught by a certified y4c instructor with knowledge and awareness of the special needs of cancer patients and survivors. This class will help individuals with the following: maintain a strong immune system, build muscle strength, improve bone density, create self-confidence, help manage common side effects, reduce stress, improve sleep, provide a sense of well-being, cultivate hope, provide a supportive community, and create a path to a longer, happier healthier life. Wear comfortable clothing. Bring a yoga mat, yoga blocks and yoga strap.
This class was made possible by a generous donation from Angushire Golf Course in St. Cloud
