Description

Yoga cannot cure cancer or other chronic illnesses, nor should it ever be used by itself to treat any medical condition or delay treatment. Based on MD Anderson Cancer Center's Integrative Yoga program, Kat gives a clear understanding of working with cancer patients, survivors and caregivers and how lifestyle can make a huge difference in quality of life and clinical treatment outcomes. Yoga and meditation can be powerful tools for both the patient and caregiver. Pre treatment stress and anxiety respond very well to yoga's mindfulness. Body awareness affords the opportunity to be "in tune" which is beneficial in knowing when something in your body feels off, making catching complications earlier.A review of 29 clinical trials showed that low-intensity forms of yoga, specifically gentle Hatha and restorative yoga, are safe and effective for relieving sleep disruption, nausea, fatigue, pain, psychosocial distress, and musculoskeletal symptoms; they also may have a positive effect on cognitive impairment.In this workshop students will have the opportunity to learn the many mutations of cancer and how yoga therapy, as well as 6 lifestyle choices, can improve clinical outcomes and overall quality of life. Students will learn to work one on one with cancer patients through adaptive practice dependent on personal needs. Students will also learn how a sound yoga and meditation practice can help with post treatment conditions in survivors.Partner yoga for dyadic support for caregivers and patients.This course serves as 8 Yoga Alliance CEU's and 8 APD credits for the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
