Yoga Therapy for Cancer

yoga therapy for cancer

The treatment program we offer to cancer patients in the Center for Yoga Therapy is to accompany and personalize yoga during treatment and recovery from cancer. Yoga empowers the body and its ability to cope with the disease and relieve reactions to chemotherapy. Yoga also improves mood and sleep and provides practical tools for coping with the mental effects of cancer. Yoga is a natural and simple tool for everyday life.

Our work with cancer patients includes:
A diagnostic meeting where we know you and your way of life. Diagnosis allows us to know your physical and mental state and to adjust yoga practice.

We teach you:
Body exercises to perform at home tailored to you personally – these empower the body with the energy of healing.
Breathing and concentration exercises – These exercises encourage concentration and control and allow you to know yourself in ways you do not know yet. These exercises enhance a sense of choice and freedom and give you insight into your situation.
Relaxation Exercises – We teach you how to release stress. Especially in stressful and frightening situations. They learn to relax and release emotional deposits and physical pain.
Meditation Exercises and Guided Imagination – For those who are interested, we adapt these exercises for home performance and during treatments.

Why Yoga?
Yoga is a natural and simple way of life that enhances self-healing and gives us real tools to deal with serious illness, end states, fears, anxieties and depression. Yoga is the beginning of every mental practice and it directly relates to the thoughts and feelings we experience in our lives. Yoga allows you to take advantage of this situation and your mental powers to release from pain and suffering, to improve the quality of your life to open a new page.
