How Yoga Therapy Helped A Woman Suffering From Stage 4 Cancer

Rena* was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. Her treatment was grueling, and the cancer eventually metastasized to her bones.

Rena felt hopeless and disconnected from her body. She also suffered from pain and fatigue that affected her daily life.

Her yoga therapy treatment plan for home practice included breathwork and chanting. After 6 weeks, Rena’s experience began to shift. Chanting helped her find a sense of calm, and restored a sense of peace within her body.

In Rena’s words: “It was just fascinating to me to know that if you’re in a certain state, that you can connect to your pain, your disease, and the way your mind works. I was hooked. I think there’s something that’s so powerful about owning your self-healing and learning how to do that and the state that you have to be in to understand it. I think yoga therapy did that for me.”

Rena’s experience is not atypical.

Our clients often come to us when they exhaust other treatment options. Yoga therapy offers mind-body practices that can be transformative for symptom management.

How Can Yoga Therapy Help My Oncology Patients?

Yoga therapists support those affected by cancer using gentle movement, restorative postures, breathwork, and meditation practices.

The yoga therapist works with your patient to develop a treatment plan based on metrics. Practices are evaluated throughout the treatment plan to determine efficacy.

Our oncology clients report present-centered awareness, improved symptom management, and better coping mechanisms during cancer treatment and recovery.

All of our yoga therapists hold the highest credentials for yoga therapists and are certified by the IAYT.
