Healing Yoga for Cancer Survivorship Feasibility Study, 2014

Read more about the research projects

2014 HYCS Research Protocol Practice

Welcome to Healing Yoga for Cancer Survivorship, a gentle yoga program specifically designed to build breath and body awareness, increase energy, circulation and lymphatic drainage, reduce anxiety, fatigue, sleeplessness, constipation and pain for those going through cancer treatment. The sequences provides instruction on intention setting that is done at the beginning of the session; simple sound practices to focus your attention and bring you more closely into contact with your center; mudra or hand gestures to calm the mind and emotions; breathing techniques to increase prana, the vital force in your body that is helpful for healing; and a progression of yoga postures from a reclining position to sitting to kneeling to standing that will move all the joints in the body. The following sequences highlight the yoga protocol used as an intervention in the Healing Yoga for Cancer Survivorship feasibility study conducted at the Cancer Support Community in Walnut Creek, CA in 2014.
