yoga 4 cancer
Yoga4cancer is a specialized yoga methodology that is tailored to address the specific physical and emotional needs left by cancer and its treatments. This unique approach is not just gentle or restorative yoga but focuses on how to stimulate the immune system through movement, improve flexibility and strength along with how to reduce anxiety and boost overall well-being.
Y4c can help ease the side effects of cancer treatments such as lymphedema, neuropathy, and bone density loss through sequenced vinyasa flows connecting movements and breaths, with the support of props for alignment.
Vinyasa, Hatha and restorative yoga
Vinyasa and Hatha yoga share many of the same poses, while each have their distinct focus and pacing. Vinyasa flows from one pose directly into the next at a faster pace. Hatha is a slower flow with poses held with conscience controlled breathing and posture. Both are designed to build strength, flexibility and restore balance and soothe the nervous system.
Restorative yoga encourages physical, mental and emotional relaxation through passive, receptive and mainly still postures with supports of props. We learn to allow our body and mind to purposefully relax all muscular effort and stimulate the relaxation response.
The benefits are many: lower stress and anxiety, cardio workout and aiding a healthy immune system are just a few examples. Which one is right for you? Why choose? Try them all and find out which is well suited to your fitness or wellness goals.
