I have just completed a specialist Cancer for Yoga training.
I’m delighted to share some very special news: I have recently completed an intensive course and am now a qualified Specialist Yoga for Cancer Teacher. Having worked as a Therapeutic Radiographer for 30 years, this feels like a perfect way to bring my medical experience together with my passion for yoga.
I will be running a 6-week Yoga for Cancer course designed specifically for those living with or recovering from cancer:
Specialist Yoga Class for Cancer Patients
A new specialist Yoga for Cancer course is launching on Hayling Island this October, offering people living with cancer a gentle, supportive and discreet space to move, breathe, rebuild strength and connect with others.
The classes are suitable for anyone with a cancer diagnosis, whatever their cancer type or stage of treatment. The course is deliberately small and supportive, and one-to-one sessions are also available for anyone who would prefer not to join a group, with respect for each participant's privacy and individual circumstances.
Sessions will be slow, gentle and adaptable, incorporating breathing exercises, restorative yoga and strengthening practices that gradually build strength and flexibility.
The course is designed to support participants with some of the physical and emotional challenges that can accompany cancer and its treatment, including cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, sleep difficulties and reduced strength and flexibility. Sessions can also be adapted for people with medical devices.
Other potential benefits of regular gentle movement include supporting lymphatic function, maintaining bone health and helping manage common treatment-related issues such as lymphoedema, constipation and neuropathy.
Most importantly, the classes offer a small, welcoming and discreet environment where participants can meet others who understand the experience of living with cancer, with everyone's privacy respected.
Cancer Research UK says: “Exercise is safe, possible and helpful for many people with cancer or who have finished cancer treatment. Becoming active can help you feel stronger, energised and more confident in your body again.”
