*CANCELLED* Join Lucy on Saturday, August 2nd for Yoga for Cancer Support, a workshop for cancer survivors in any stage of healing as well as their family, caregivers, and yoga teachers who want to understand more about cancer recovery.

Complimentary and alternative practices are increasingly being shown to help with the pain and discomfort from cancer as well as the medical treatments for cancer. Research has shown that gentle, therapeutic yoga poses, as well as calming breathing and meditation practices, can help relieve the stress, anxiety, and sickness associated with both the disease and treatments.

In this workshop, learn and practice a series of adaptive yoga poses, calming breath practices, and conclude with an iRest® yoga nidra guided meditation for healing. Research has shown that iRest Yoga Nidra effectively reduces: traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, and chemical dependency. Take home a handout for home practice of poses and actions taught.

Suitable for all levels. Yoga Teachers registered with Yoga Alliance receive 2 CE hours. Register on our workshops page: https://www.columbiayoga.com/workshops
