Oncology Yoga improves the lives of cancer survivors.
Expert Approved
Oncologists recommend yoga.
Yoga is increasingly recommended by oncologists and cancer organizations as part of cancer recovery and long-term health. The American Cancer Society and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services advise 150–320 minutes of yoga or exercise weekly to aid recovery and reduce recurrence risk—highlighting active practices like Vinyasa.
But not all yoga is the same. Cancer survivors have unique needs. Our evidence-informed Oncology Yoga method ensures they meet these guidelines safely and effectively through expert training, support, and advocacy.
