Unsure about how it works?
We’ve answered some of the most common queries. From “when should I start?” to “is this right for me?”, we’ve got you covered.
Surgical procedures and treatments vary widely and thus so do recovery times. It is vital that you ask your oncologist when you can start exercising again. Ask them if they are happy for you to start a gentle, yoga-based exercise programme and ask them if there are any exercises / movements you should avoid or be careful with.
Yes.
You don’t need to be flexible at all to get the many benefits that yoga offers. All you need is to be able to move from sitting to standing with relative ease and be willing to have a go and to take time for some self-care.
You get everything you need to reconnect with your changed or changing body. I will support you to regain a sense of control and confidence in the way your body works, looks and feels. Perfectly created for those of you who have finished your active phase of treatment.
