Let’s get on our yoga mats and try out yoga protocols for cancer survivors and people with lymphedema!

Have you had a client who is a cancer survivor or had lymphedema ask you what you knew about yoga during an oncology massage session? Did you feel hesitant to share knowledge about yoga, even though you love your own yoga practice?

Join me on the yoga mat and let’s look at published research protocols for clients with a cancer history or a lymphedema diagnosis!

We will look at:

Yoga poses that have been shown to help cancer survivors improve sleep

Yoga poses that have an effect on fibrosis and lymphedema symptoms

Breathwork practices that have been included in clinical trials

Find out more information on the research behind yoga for clients with a cancer history and and yoga for lymphedema in this video:
