Breast and Chest Health Yoga
I have combined my interest in caring for the body through massage therapy, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy and oncology breast cancer massage, along with somatic experiencing trauma healing, into an integrated yoga class for women, non-binary and trans people to connect to their bodies- in particular, their breasts and/or chest scars, as they move through the poses. Breast health is a concern for me, especially given the high rate of breast cancer in society, and general lack of connection with this part of our bodies. Breasts are often not honored or appreciated in a way that creates space for self-care, nourishment and loving attention.
My class, called Breast and Chest Health yoga, has a specific lens on poses with the breast and chest in mind, whether they are affected by breast cancer or not. I draw on my yoga training from Jan Henrikson, as well as from taking a 6-month oncology yoga training certificate program with Tari Prinster at yoga4cancer, who wrote the book Yoga for Cancer. Also, I took and am certified to teach Healthy Breast Foundations training from Dr. Sat Dharam Kaur, where I learned specific Kundalini poses for the lymphatic system. And, I have taken a Bonefit course for working with people with osteoporosis.
I incorporate a wide range of asana poses, pranayama breathing techniques, lymphatic movements, and meditations into the classes, all with the aim to improve breast and chest health.
Depending on the class intention and theme, a variety of props are used such as bolsters, belts, blocks, balls, black straps, foam rollers, noodles, blankets, towels, scarves, eye covers and sticks, as I like to continually change the classes to keep women interested in them. I will guide you through using them, teaching in a non-judgmental, relaxed, respectful, reverent and fun way. You are encouraged to listen to your body on the day that you come to the class and to do any modifications necessary to help you stay connected with your breath- in body, mind and spirit.
I have worked for over 25 years in the health field, always learning, growing, and looking for ways to better serve her clients. I love teaching yoga and being a massage therapist/ integrated health care practitioner. I hope to see you in one of my classes!
In Gratitude, Blessed Be, Namaste,
