This 60 hour Yoga Alliance Certified training will give you all the knowledge and practical skills you need to become a specialist yoga for cancer teacher.

This training will enable you to work confidently and safely with people who are affected by cancer through their treatment and beyond in to long term recovery. You will also have tools to support carers and family members and also to work sensitively at end of life if this is something you choose to do.

I take a holistic approach to training, combining theoretical and knowledge based learning, experiential yoga sessions, personal development practices, group discussions and peer support. The course is taught in a way that embodies the principles of teaching people with cancer and is designed to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

By then end of the training you will be able to:

• Communicate effectively and sensitively with cancer patients both in and out of class

• Assess someone’s holistic needs and offer the right class for them or refer on if needed

• Support people with all kinds of cancer

• Integrate someone living with cancer in your mixed class

• Create individualised one-to-one classes for a student

• Understand and address the additional needs some women face with the effects of cancer treatment

• Create and run specialised yoga for cancer classes

• Support carers and families of people with cancer

• Be aware of your own boundaries and needs as a teacher to avoid burnout and overwhelm

• Build a network and resources to support yourself and people living with cancer

• Increase your business skills to develop a sustainable teaching practise

Places are limited to 18 so that I can provide individual teaching and support throughout the course.
