yoga4cancer is an evidenced informed Oncology Yoga method designed to manage the physical and emotional impact of cancer, improve quality of life and daily functioning, reduce cancer recurrence and other co-morbidities. Our organization provides free resources for survivors, training programs for high-quality professionals and advocates for Oncology Yoga through outreach, education and research.
With nearly 3,000 trained oncology yoga professionals, we are infiltrating hospitals, cancer centers, yoga studios, communities and homes with safe and effective Oncology Yoga. Patient outcomes are directly linked to race, gender, healthcare access, location, and education.
A key mission of our organization is to rectify inequities within the healthcare system. The financial toxicity of cancer is one of the most debilitating side effects, and vulnerable populations are more negatively impacted. Our programs strive to remove barriers like cost, location, awareness and representation to improve patient outcomes for all cancer patients.
Our Vision is that Oncology Yoga is prescribed and available to all those touched by cancer, regardless of the economic, social, racial, or geographic barriers they may face.
