YogaThrive: Yoga for Cancer Survivors Toronto May 3 and 4
YogaTHRIVE: Yoga for Cancer Survivors TTP:
What is Yoga Thrive?: Yoga
Thrive is a research-based, therapeutic yoga program for cancer
survivors and their support persons that was conducted at the
University of Calgary. Past participants have found significant
benefits in overall mood, stress levels, physical strength, and quality
of life. I created this gentle, 7-week yoga program, which is based on
hatha yoga, but has been modified for cancer survivors - especially
those who are experiencing stiffness, pain, stress or fatigue.
The Yoga Thrive TTP is designed for yoga teachers who want to expand their knowledge and expertise. You will:
- learn about the effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and the general physiology of someone who has had a cancer experience;
- learn how yoga works to improve the situation anatomically, physiologically, psychologically;
- learn how to modify the poses for physical issues both related and unrelated to a cancer experience;
- hear from past participants and yoga teachers who have been involved in this program and the impact on their life.
Registration prior to January 15 is $349 plus GST; registration after January 15 is $399 plus GST.
6 hours of Pre-Requisite training with Susi is required. There is a 2 day training at East Village Yoga the weekend prior to this training that will satisfy that requirement. For information, please email nicole@eastvillageyoga.ca
