Yoga for Symptom Management is for cancer patients who have a significant adverse symptom, such as pain, instability, mobility problems) that requires a gentle, modified approach to care.  The primary objective of this type of yoga session is symptom relief. In a discreet and respectful manner, the professional yoga leader will request information about the symptom being experienced so that the member’s needs may be accommodated as required. Throughout the class, the leader will provide instruction and demonstration of various yoga poses that also use meditation and breathing techniques and members follow to the extent that they are able. Modifications in the pose or techniques, such as using a chair instead of the floor, or using a pillow, are incorporated to meet each member’s needs. Yoga is offered on a drop-in basis, once a week.
