Yoga for Cancer

This 60-minute class is tailored towards people who have been diagnosed with, are currently going through or are recovering from cancer, as well as family and loved ones who are supporting them. The class is suitable for any type of cancer, at any stage of recovery.

Classes will provide a sustainable and supportive space for yogis to build and regain strength pre- and post-surgery. We’ll focus on specific yoga asanas and techniques to help alleviate the impact of various side effects from treatment, ranging from fatigue, muscle loss and scar tissue, to lymphedema and peripheral neuropathy.

Typically, each class will incorporate gentle breathwork aimed to alleviate anxiety (or scanxiety!), a gentle warmup for joints, a series of stabilising/strengthening poses before we move into more restorative poses at the end.

This class is suitable for anyone currently undergoing or who has undergone treatment for cancer – including those who had a yoga practice pre-diagnosis but aren’t quite ready to go back to their regular class, for physical or emotional reasons.

That being said, if you have received surgery within the last eight weeks, we recommend you hold off on the physical side of the practice until the site of the procedure has had adequate time to begin the healing process. If you are within this period, you’re still more than welcome to join for calming breathwork and visualisation until you’re ready to return to the physical practice.
