Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is a form of yoga that seeks to achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation with the aid of props. We work very hard in our lives, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative yoga poses help us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely.
This eight-week session is open to anyone undergoing cancer treatment and/or its survivors.
