Yoga classes for people living with cancer

In January 2020, I completed a yoga teacher training specialising in teaching yoga to people living with Cancer. Whether you are a long-term cancer survivor or currently in treatment. These classes are designed to provide a safe, friendly space for your yoga practice.

Benefits of yoga for cancer:

build strength, increase range of motion and improve lymphatic drainage.
decrease pain and reduce stress, thereby improving sleep and reducing fatigue.
enhance energy, digestion, joint health, circulation, respiration and endocrine function.
Soothe anxiety, increased sense of being grounded.
Help you feel more comfortable in your body, mind and spirit when you have been diagnosed with cancer.

These classes are suitable for people who have had a regular yoga practice or those who are complete beginners.

Currently, due to the COVID and the need to keep social distance, classes can be held on Zoom or in a small class setting, if you are comfortable being in a room with other people. These classes are just starting out so please contact me if you would like to attend and i will let you know all the details.

The classes will be small, a small class size ensures plenty of personal attention and guidance on suitable variations. The classes are also open to those caring for a family member or a friend.

Prior to coming along to class I kindly ask that you contact me so that we can have a chat about your needs.

You will need be reasonably mobile and be able to move independently. Have all surgical incisions healed and feel comfortable in a group setting.

If you’d feel are more comfortable with one-to-one sessions this can also be arranged.

Please contact me for more details, I look forward to welcoming you to a class.
