Oncology Yoga classes are focused on helping cancer patients improve their treatment and post-treatment outcomes.  Classes are focused on how to manage treatment side effects, improve recovery, and cope with stress.  Participants are encouraged to engage at their own pace, and monitor their energy levels – resting when necessary.

No prior experience with yoga is necessary.

 

Yoga Teaching

Yoga is a process of self-exploration to the extent of realizing the strength and focus a person possesses.  Practicing yoga helps focus the mind, while poses invite the body to expand and open to new possiblities.  Yoga is for everyone, regardless of muscle flexibility, strength, or physical limitations.  Alignment-based yoga classes utilitze props to assist supporting the body during poses, so students feel capable and are present for the experience.

About Me

I completed my trainings for Yoga in 2003, Oncology Yoga (y4C) in 2017, Healing Touch for Humans in 2023, and Healing Touch for Animals (2025).  I am a certified practitioner of Healing Touch, and an alignment-based instructor of Yoga for over 22 years.

I have been an adjunct professor at a local women’s college teaching Yoga, as well as an exercise physiologist with Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation at a local hospital.

My sense of empathy for Yoga for Cancer participants comes from my own breast cancer experience many years ago, and I am currently teaching online for Duke Cancer Support.

My intention is to meet clients and class participants where they are in this journey of Life.  A sense of humor and compassion towards ourselves and each other, helps deepen our sense of gratitude for all that we have in our lives.
