“I wholeheartedly recommend yoga for people undergoing cancer treatment.
Yoga not only conditions your body in numerous ways,
but it grants you emotional balance and soothes your nervous system
following the rigors of medical intervention.
Visiting the Yoga Bear community can provide you with
the resources and friendly exchanges necessary to survive and thrive.”
Dr. Meg Jordan, PhD, RN, Global Medicine Hunter, Health Radio Network
“Yoga is a powerful new tool for the therapeutic treatment of the various non-communicable diseases that are prevalent in this country today.
Although there are vast improvements to be made in providing equitable resources for the detection and treatment of cancer,
with the increasing percentage of cancer survivors in the U.S.,
it is essential for survivors to continue providing themselves with physical and emotional treatment.
As a cancer survivor, I came to understand the secondary affects of cancer treatment through my personal struggle with
early stage arthritis and the diminished capacity to engage in intense physical activities at the age of 24.
As someone who has always been active, I sought alternative means of exercise and found yoga to be the solution.
Yoga provided me the balance between physical and emotional treatment.
I was able to build physical strength and flexibility while engaging in meditative exercise.
I whole heartedly recommend Yoga Bear as a therapeutic means of treatment for both the cancer survivor and for those currently fighting cancer.”
