With regular practice, one can benefit from them and find relief. Among yoga’s benefits it can enhance your immune system and while not a cure for cancer, practicing this sequence can lead you to feel better and speed recovery.

Clients conclude the workshop with a 90 minute daily home practice. If they choose, clients can extend aspects of the practice or add meditations if they so choose.

 

Individual practices are beneficial and can be learned one by one. The most benefit comes in practicing the full sequence. When approaching complementary cancer therapy, Upa Yoga is the best place to start, then meditation breath and sound. Other practices can be added to further speed recovery.
