Yoga For Cancer: Teacher Training Workshop with Susan Sassaman - Feb. 9, 2020

In this workshop, participants will experience a Yoga for Cancer class while discussing best practices. Yoga for Cancer (y4c), a specialized yoga methodology, is tailored to address the specific physical and emotional needs left by cancer and its treatments. This unique approach focuses on how to stimulate the immune system through movement. It improves flexibility, strength, reduces anxiety and boosts overall well-being.
