New Beginnings Yoga Class for Breast Cancer Survivors

Whenever I sit on my yoga mat, peace surrounds me. All of my fears, anger, fatigue and frustration dissipate as I begin to breathe in healing energies and breathe out negatives. Eventually peace finds my soul and radiates to every pore, cell, organ muscle and bone in my body. On my mat, I feel whole and healthy. I forget about the scars, the loss of body parts.

Cancer Survivor

Hi there, as a cancer survivor, I would like to find out, if there is anybody out there who can recommend one of the yoga bear videos. This is my second week of bilateral mastectomy, with disection of the lymph nodes on my left arm and followed by breast reconstruction. I am doing Ok and gaining my strenght everyday.

Refueling

Finally I speak. My yoga blog sabbatical is over! After Tucker, my dog passed away in September my writing came to a halt. I withdrew from the world and I filled my yoga teaching calendar to keep me busy.
