Thriving with Yoga
Thriving With Yoga: for people living with cancer
We invite those with a present or past diagnosis of cancer ~ all ages and fitness levels ~ and family members/caregivers to join us for FREE yoga classes. There is a growing body of research about the benefits of yoga for those living with cancer. Yoga has the potential to:
· restore range of motion
· rebuild strength and stamina
· relieve tension, fatigue and anxiety
· bring a sense of calm
· strengthen our sense of well-being
· enhance sleep
· control pain and discomfort
· help witness emotion with self-compassion
· add to your social support network
Classes include gentle Hatha postures with appropriate adjustments, Pranayam (breathing exercises that rejuvenate) and Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation).
