Yesterday, I had the honor of initiating a new member into my class. Joanne is new to yoga and she is also very new to being a cancer patient. Joanne is so new, she doesn't yet have her diagnosis and is still waiting for the insurance to approve her visit to the oncologist. She was told she had cancer, so she came to "Yoga for Cancer Survivors" class to learn how yoga could help her deal with the stress of cancer.
After class, Joanne had that 'yoga glow' and said she felt like she had had a massage. That's exactly the feeling that deep breathing, gentle stretching and mediation can have, when we do yoga.
If you are new to yoga and new to cancer, you're in the right place. Do visit the podcasts and video download sections on the home page. Of course, I told Joanne about Yoga Bear and the meditation specifically for about 'waiting for results'. If you have a topic that you'd like a meditation on, please write me.
