Yoga for Cancer

I am currently training with Yoga by Nature for my 40h YAP certified specialisation in providing yoga for cancer patients.

Yoga is not only beneficial to open up the body gently and mindfully, but also to increase a sense of calm by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system – your rest and digest system. This reduces stress and anxiety and provides a centring and grounding state via use of the breath, which is your key to unlocking a restful state.

These benefits are even more pertinent for cancer patients. A randomised clinical trial in 2022 consisting of 136 breast cancer patients showed that those who received mindfulness meditation and yoga postures alongside their standard of care treatment had significantly reduced anxiety, depression and improved health-related quality of life (Liu et al., 2022).

One to ones or private groups of up to 3 people are available. Please email me to enquire further [email protected].
