Using the Healing the Whole Person model, you will understand the impact of cancer on all aspects of self and community and what you can do as a yoga teacher to help your students build their resilience.
The workshop will involve practice, group and small-group discussion and personal reflection.

"This course was one of the most powerful and empowering experiences of my life. I found the holistic approach enlightening and thought provoking and I felt very supported in exploring some big topics and ideas for myself. While I now feel confident to teach yoga, this course hasn’t just facilitated an ability to teach yoga; it has truly developed a bedrock for my whole life."
