Yoga for Cancer Care
Evidence supports yoga as a complementary approach that improves a variety of health-related outcomes. Chronic stress or stress-related changes in the body can lead to lowered immunity and increased inflammatory responses that can exacerbate cancer symptoms and potentially accelerate the course of the disease. Yoga may lead to reduced stress, which may in turn reduce inflammation and boost immunity. Yoga may also alleviate symptoms that cause reduced quality of life and poor mental health.
Yoga for Depression & Anxiety
Through the healing power of awareness of our physical body via Svadyaya (self study) and Ishvara-Pranidhana (surrender) we can connect to our own innate healing power through postures, breath and meditation. We create a deep connection and union of mind, body and spirit to balance the energies and enhance our sense of well-being.

Chair Yoga
There's never a bad time to do yoga so any time you find yourself sitting in a chair, take a few minutes every hour to do some yoga! I have included poses to help increase circulation, increase mobility in the joints and spine, open up our chronically tight chest and hips, gain strength and balance and of course we end with legs up the wall for some venous blood return and an opportunity to breathe deeply and take time to be grateful!
