A yoga course for cancer support
Cancer affects more than the physical body. It can change how you move, how you feel, and how you relate to yourself.
This course offers a structured, accessible way to work with those changes.
​
Healing the Whole Person is a six-week, self-paced online yoga for cancer programme designed to support physical recovery, emotional wellbeing, and a gradual reconnection with the body in the days, weeks, months and years after cancer treatment.
You can move through the course in your own time, at home, with practices that are specifically adapted for the effects of cancer and its treatment.
