Why this training matters

Cancer affects 1 in 2 people—and as survivorship improves, more students will show up in our classes navigating treatment, recovery, or life after cancer.

Most teacher trainings don’t cover how to support these students safely and compassionately.

Having spent over 20 years supporting people with cancer I have learned through my own experience (and mistakes!) the kind of holistic care people going through this life changing experience need. I have seen the huge value that yoga gives for people facing cancer and I want to share with thoughtful and compassionate teachers like you how to adapt your teaching and offer the best support possible.

Cancer is not like a typical injury or illness, it is something that impacts every layer of someone’s being and so needs extra consideration. It’s not just about adapting practices on a practical level but understanding each person’s unique experience and needs.

This course will help you:

• Feel confident and capable supporting students with a cancer diagnosis

• Learn how to adapt your teaching safely

• Set clear ethical and emotional boundaries

• Learn how to self care as a teacher to build capacity to hold others.

• Begin your journey into specialist work if that’s your path
