The class content is designed specifically to support adults impacted by cancer and is suitable for those currently living with cancer or in recovery.

“Is this course suitable for me?”

You need to be reasonably mobile and move independently as we will explore both floor and standing postures. You will have all surgical incisions healed and feel that your needs can be addressed in a group setting. Your health care team will have given you the thumbs up for gentle exercise. After you have confirmed participation I will share a short health assessment form that will help me understand any individual needs.
