HEALING YOGA FOR CANCER HOME PRACTICE COURSE:
Healing Yoga for Cancer Home Practice Course is a gentle yoga program specifically designed to promote health and well-being for cancer patients and survivors. The course is divided into eleven chapters each containing short video practices for yoga techniques proven to ease cancer side-effects such as pain, anxiety, insomnia, lymphedema, constipation, and cancer-related fatigue. These practices can be combined to create customized home practices that meet your changing needs during and after treatment.
- Setting an intention to focus the mind toward a goal for healing and set the tone for the practice
- Chanting uses simple sound practices to enhance body and breath awareness
- Mudras to reduce anxiety and enhance immune function
- Breathing techniques to promote healing and relaxation
- Reclining and seated postures to reduce pain and constipation, and promote the movement of lymph through the body - they can be used as a warm-up or stand-alone practice on days when energy is low

- Supported restorative postures to induce deep relaxation
- Body Scan to enhance body awareness and focus
- Final Relaxation and guided meditation to create ease in the body, mind and spirit and envision healing on all levels

Kind words from my teaching mentor, Richard Rosen, about the DVD where this program was initially published.
“In Cheryl Fenner Brown’s Healing Yoga for Cancer Survivorship DVD we have a most useful contribution to the field of yoga therapy. Cheryl is a long-time teacher and yoga therapist whose healing approach includes not only a series of yoga postures (asanas), as is typical in general of DVDs of this type, but also a unique selection of more traditional practices, such as chanting, hand gestures (mudras), and conscious breathing (pranayama).”

Cheryl found yoga in 2001 as a way to ease chronic back pain and became instantly enchanted by the subtle connections between the breath, body, mind, and emotions. Students appreciate her deeply educational approach to yoga and her classes weave anatomy, philosophy, asana, mudra, chanting, pranayama, and yoga nidra together for a well-rounded experience delivered with compassion and humor. Cheryl encourages each student to honor where they are in their bodies every time they step onto the mat so deep healing and transformation takes place.
