Yoga for Cancer with Barb Novak

Yoga for Cancer (y4c)

Oncology Yoga is a research based, specialized methodology tailored to address the specific physical and emotional needs of cancer patients and survivors. This class incorporates physical postures, breathing techniques and mindfulness exercises. 

Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, gathering strength and 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 led by a certified y4c instructor with knowledge and awareness of the special needs individuals may face including limitations and fluctuations in strength and mobility, range of motion, breathing and energy levels. This class will be beneficial in the following ways: maintaining a strong immune system, building muscle strength, improving bone density, and creating self-confidence. This class will also help to 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.
