Oncology Yoga

Oncology Yoga - YouTube coming soon!

You’ve been cleared for exercise, now what?

As a certified Yoga4Cancer™ instructor, I’m here to help you begin a safe and supportive yoga practice to empower you.

Without proper guidance, yoga-related injuries may happen, especially if you have issues with mobility, lymphedema, or any weight-bearing poses. Finding the right guidance for a safe practice by a well-trained instructor is super important.

Issues like cording, neck and shoulder pain, or neuropathy may make you feel like exercise is the LAST thing you want to do. A yoga practice is a great option to help mitigate side effects and get you moving during or post-treatment.

A few Oncology Yoga benefits:

• Strengthen the immune system and the lymphatic function

• Reduce cancer-related fatigue and improve sleep quality

• Build strength and increase bone density.

• Help manage lymphedema and neuropathy

Yoga Props:

Props are utilized throughout the class for support and stability, ensuring we get in and out of postures safely.

What you will need:

• 2-4 Yoga Blocks. Block substitutes: 2 paper towel rolls, a sturdy stack of books, and a chair.

• 2 Blankets, or pillows, or a bolster.
