Living Well Yoga for Cancer
A class specifically designed for people in treatment or post-treatment for cancer. Classes are appropriate for anyone living with cancer; whether you have just been diagnosed, are receiving treatments, or are in remission. The class includes gentle, therapeutic poses to allow individuals to explore their bodies, breathe into areas of tension, strengthen areas of weakness, promote healing and relaxation, balance energy, build bone density, and stimulate the lymphatic system. Learn about the power of guided imagery for deep restoration, and breathing techniques to induce relaxation and elevate the mood. The class will also offer tools to support a home practice and every day living. Offered for free or by donation, taught by Michele Lawrence.
