How Yoga Helps Cancer Patients:
- Physical postures reduce musculoskeletal pain by mobilizing joints and stretching muscles
- Movement improves lymphatic circulation and optimize immune system function
- Embodied movement also provides a sense of empowerment
- Conscious breathing and mudras (hand gestures) reduce stress and improve mood
- Guided relaxation and Yoga Nidra reduces fatigue and improve sleep
- Being part of a community increases connection and decreases loneliness
Review of the Protocol
Kind words from my teaching mentor, Richard Rosen, about the DVD where this program was initially published.
In Cheryl Fenner Brown’s Healing Yoga for Cancer Survivorship DVD we have a most useful contribution to the field of yoga therapy. Cheryl is a long-time teacher and yoga therapist whose healing approach includes not only a series of yoga postures (asanas), as is typical in general of DVDs of this type, but also a unique selection of more traditional practices, such as chanting, hand gestures (mudras), and conscious breathing (pranayama). - Richard Rosen,
See What My Students Have to Say
Cheryl's yoga practice felt lovingly given to students. Excellent directions for body mechanics enabled me to participate in ways I was afraid of because of my physical limitations, or I was given alternative postures that provided similar exercise but avoided stressing my weak areas. I was able to exercise in ways I know will strengthen my body. I knew the spiritual portion of yoga would benefit me but Cheryl's direction helped me enhance my way of thinking during Mudras that I think will improve my quality of life by accepting (not just the good stuff but not so good stuff as well), being grateful for people I take for granted (focus on their good) and giving. I practiced "releasing to the universe" (my expression) negative feelings. - Bill W., 2014
My participation in Cheryl's Healing Yoga for Cancer Course has made such a positive impact on my mind, body and spirit. The instruction, techniques, and tools that she provided, at a gentle pace, were so helpful and are things that I now literally and figuratively have at my disposal to use at any time. Cheryl is so gifted and keenly attuned to her students and their needs. I highly recommend this program to any person on their cancer journey. - Lorraine Y., 2020
