Yoga for Cancer

FAQs

1. I can barely touch my knees, much less my toes - am I too inflexible to do yoga?

Yoga is not only about flexibility.  It’s about experiencing and breathing deeply in the pose that you are able to do each day.  With a consistent yoga practice, in time, you will feel a shift in your flexibility edges. Yoga is about making more space in your body, one step at a time.

2. I’ve never done yoga before, is this video appropriate for me?

This video is appropriate for all levels, even brand new beginners.  We advise that you watch the entire video once before attempting (maybe attempting isn’t the right word here) to do the poses to help you get comfortable with the language and sequencing.

3. I have medical issues that may prevent me from doing yoga - can I still use this video?

We suggest that you consult your physician if you have any questions about how yoga will effect your medical condition.  If you’re waiting for your doctor’s approval before beginning, start with the “guided mediation” chapter.  This will get you focused on your breath which is a crucial part of the yoga practice.
