Yoga 4 Cancer - Classes

Fall 2022 - Mondays @ 9am

Yoga 4 Cancer - Virtual

New class begins: 10/3/22.

Yoga 4 Cancer is a research based, specialized yoga methodology addressing the specific physical and emotional needs left by cancer and its treatments. Yoga 4 Cancer will help you: maintain a strong immune system, build muscle strength, improve bone density, create self-confidence, find solutions for treatment side effects, and provide a supportive community.

No previous yoga experience required. Chair options will be shown.

Classes will be about 30-40 minutes in length and held on the Zoom, online meeting platform. You will receive an email 30 minutes before each class you are signed up for with the link to the class.

Click 'Sign-up', to be directed to my online yoga studio platform. You will be offered a special package $5/month for 5 Monday classes, it includes access to the Monday Yoga Video recordings. The video recordings will stay in the archives and you will have access to as many video classes a month as you like. This is a monthly membership - you will be billed $5/month until you cancel.

My hope is that the $5/month cost for this class will make it affordable and accessible for anyone who needs it.

Why Yoga 4 Cancer?

Why take a Yoga 4 Cancer class?

This video talks briefly about who the Yoga 4 Cancer class is for, and the benefits of a yoga practice for cancer.

Boosting immunity, building bone, and improving the stress response (feeling more calm), are just a few of the benefits.

Yoga has been shown to very effectively mitigate the side effects of traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy, and radiation, also effective in improving range of motion following surgeries like lumpectomy or breast reconstruction.

Yoga 4 Cancer - Intro & Props

Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation can weaken and affect different areas of the body - the Yoga 4 Cancer method relies on props to modify the practice and make it safe for you. It is not a chair yoga practice, or a restorative yoga practice - we will move and breathe, and increase heart rate in classes. This video is designed to show you the props we will be using in the Y4C classes, and how to use them. I recommend watching this video before you take a video class with me.

Try a 20 Minute Class

This 20 minute class is a condensed version of the 60 minute classes that I typically offer to individuals or groups. This class can be done as a short practice, or as a preview to the style and intensity of the Y4C method.

Props needed: a chair and a pillow or yoga bolster.
