Oncology Yoga

In her words: My focus is on using all 8 limbs of yoga and experiential learning to help people feel at home in their bodies, through the many transitions of life.

Some years ago, my mom succumbed to pancreatic cancer.  Over the years since, I have been called to support people living with cancer from diagnosis, during treatment, through recovering themselves after treatment, and on into what comes next.  In offering them the tools that I have used to thrive in my own life, we grow together.

Chair Yoga and More

My plan is to continue to teach Chair Yoga on Tuesdays at noon CST at Gilda's Club of Minnesota, as well as to introduce a free Oncology Chair Yoga class on the first and third Tuesdays at 9 a.m. CST at my yoga studio.

Many of the ongoing series at Upward Facing Dawn Yoga (near Minneapolis, MN) are available online via Zoom.  I highly recommend the upcoming Yoga Nidra series, which starts November 11.
