A diagnosis of cancer can take your breath away but yoga can give it back. The benefits of yoga are endless, especially for those with cancer. It will aid you in your recovery and connect you with others in a safe and supportive environment.
These classes are specifically designed to restore motion and flexibility in a gentle way, encouraging the movement of fascia consistently and freely to help support and promote the overall health of our physical, emotional and mental well-being pre and post surgery. We hope the classes encourage greater internal calm to help deal with stress, anxiety and depression, help to strengthen the immune and lymphatic system, maintain and improve mobility to areas impacted by surgery and the whole body, while encouraging overall health and well-being and better sleep.
This is a great opportunity to come together, to move, to breathe and to talk to other women going through something similar.
We have been supported by the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Trust, private donations, fundraising events and sponsored hall hire by Moreton Bay Regional Council to run free and low cost Cancer Care classes throughout Brisbane and Moreton Bay Area in the past. We are working hard to secure further funding to make these classes available in the future. Please get in touch if you know anyone who might be interested in sponsoring these classes or making a tax deductible donation towards them.
