The Yoga Shala is pleased to offer a free introductory course in the practice of yoga, to cancer survivors in our community. We recognize that each survivor is on a journey...a road to recovery and wellness. Our hope is that an experience of yoga, mindful breathing and meditation will be a powerful personal guide along this road. Yogic practices bring strength, stamina, mental clarity and self-awareness. All of these empower the student to be an active participant in their own health and wellness. We are honored and delighted to be a part of Om for Life. If you, or someone you know is a cancer survivor (recently or far removed from treatment) please join us. Participants new to the yoga shala will receive a month of free practice at the completion of the course. The spring session includes:
- yoga asana practice
- meditation instruction
- restorative/relaxation practice
- ayurveda, diet and seasonal practices
The course is free and offered to all interested cancer survivors through a grant from the CT Center for Survivorship. Registration is limited to 12 students.
