Oncology yoga is specially designed to improve the physical condition of the body affected by disease.
Every body has a story; oncology yoga is adapted to the needs of each individual with the aim of improving pain, discomfort, emotions and feelings.
Additional equipment (blocks, blankets, seats) are essential for these classes. They help us to vary the asanas and to feel safer; the aim is to move in a way that makes us feel good.
These are sessions during which experiences and emotions are shared and you can relax and reconnect.
Feeling safe and supported during what you are going through or what you have been through is the priority when sharing these sessions.
Oncology yoga improves flexibility and relaxes the muscles and tissues affected by treatments.
Another benefit of regular practice is strengthening of the cardiovascular system and bones.
During these sessions, we use pranayama breathing techniques and relaxation techniques to reduce fear, anxiety and stress.
Asanas help us to become aware of our body and alleviate pain caused by treatments and surgery.

Anything that allows you to move comfortably and gives you a good range of motion.
During every session, there are different options so that everyone can find the pose
and position that suits them best so you are free to attend any of the classes offered.
Yoga is a personal practice and during each session you are free to move however
you prefer.
We recommend that you attend the Slow Flow or hatha session as they are slower,
which means you will be able to understand and process the poses at your own pace
and with full awareness.
We have everything you need at the studio.
If you have your own mat and want to use that, you are obviously free to bring your
equipment from home to use during the session.
We always ask you to arrive a few minutes early so we can start the session on time
without any delays. Despite this, we understand that sometimes things go wrong so
we can wait for you for five minutes.
Please call us as soon as possible to let us know how long you will be so we can
either wait or leave the door open so you can arrive later. Please enter as quietly as
possible so as not to interrupt the session.
We always ask you to speak to your doctor and ask for their opinion before
attending a session. If you get the go ahead, we recommend you write to your
instructor or tell them, before the session, all the medical indications you have been
given. And, above all, so they can adapt the practice to your needs.
If you are pregnant, we strongly recommend the yoga classes for pregnant women
since they are designed for your body and the instructor will give clear instructions
so you can enjoy a safe and relaxed session.
