What 200-hour trainings are missing!
Standard yoga certification teaches you to teach ‘yoga’. It doesn’t teach you cancer biology, treatment side effects, surgical contraindications, or how to hold space when a student doesn’t come back.
The yoga4cancer 75-Hour Certificate fills that gap — with the clinical knowledge, proprietary methodology, and professional skills you need to work safely and effectively with cancer survivors.
Explore the list of topics, competencies and skill you will learn.

Why There’s No “Top Ten Yoga Poses for Cancer Survivors” — And Why That’s the Point
Many well-intended professionals expect to be provided a tidy list of approved poses for cancer patients and survivors as part of an Oncology Yoga training. In a world obsessed with ‘Top Ten’ headlines, thats’s understandable. But, the concept itself misses the point.
Oncology Yoga can’t be reduced to a pose checklist.

Understanding the principles of oncology yoga is crucial for providing effective support and guidance to these individuals.
Here’s what every yoga teacher working with — or hoping to work with — cancer survivors needs to understand.

Many non-yoga teaching professionals (nurses, doctors, massage therapists, occupational therapists etc) have been interested in our Certificate Program.
