For women in treatment or recovery from breast cancer, having a calm, personal, peaceful pursuit is incredibly recuperative. Something that lets you focus on you and not on cancer.
Mount Carmel has developed just such a pursuit. It's called the Mount Carmel Gentle Yoga for Energy & Relaxation program. And not only is it relaxing and restorative, it's free. Research shows that light physical activity, like gentle yoga, can be helpful in reducing side effects such as nausea, fatigue and menopausal symptoms that impacts survivors' quality of life.
Each class includes gentle physical movement, guided imagery and structured relaxation under the direction of an experienced instructor who's certified in teaching yoga for those with cancer and other health challenges. No prior yoga experience is necessary, and there's time built in to each session for sharing and support.
Each yoga session is eight weeks in length and meet twice a week for 1.5 hours.
Class sizes are limited. Call 614-546-4180 to reserve your spot in our next session.
The Mount Carmel Gentle Yoga program is offered free through a generous grant from Columbus Komen for the Cure.
