New to Oncology Yoga Intro Class

Gentle, Beginner Friendly Session

Class Description

This is a stand alone single class introducing you to an oncology yoga practice. It requires 2-6 blocks and a bolster to participate. If you do not have blocks, you can use a couple of paper towel rolls standing up or even a chair. If you do not have a bolster, a firm pillow or couch cushion will also be just fine. You are welcome to use what you have.

You do not need to have a yoga practice in place or have done yoga at all to take this class. It is a gentle, movement based class that is appropriate for a beginner as I demo everything and walk you through each step.

If you have been touched by cancer and have had a yoga practice, this is still appropriate as oncology yoga is different from a more commercialized Western class in the following 5 ways:

- It's aware of cancer side effects and how that could affect your body.
- The use of props always.
- Believes movement is part of cancer wellness.
- Does not glorify a peak pose.
- Is guided by meditation, asana, and psychology (M.A.P. * - not just a physical asana practice)

The class is about an hour and is $22.
The purchasing of this class allows you unlimited access for two weeks.
