yoga4cancer Certificate Program

75 Hour ONCOLOGY YOGA Training

yoga4cancer Certificate Program

LAUNCHING SEPTEMBER 2025
Recommended by Oncologists.

Leading medical organizations—including the American Institute for Cancer Research, the American Cancer Society, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—recommend at least 150 minutes of physical activity, such as yoga, each week, along with two days of strength training, to support cancer recovery and reduce recurrence risk. Oncologists now regularly refer patients to yoga as part of their comprehensive care plans.

However, not all yoga is appropriate or safe for cancer survivors. the Teaching Oncology Yoga Certificate Program prepares professionals with the clinical knowledge, scientific research, and practical tools needed to safely guide survivors—bridging the gap between yoga and oncology care.
