​

Becky Morrissey, LPCC-S, LICDC-CS, eRYT500, C-IAYT provides low-cost individual sessions and small group recovery yoga classes, applying yoga approaches specific to breast cancer recovery in all aspects of wellbeing. Creating a home practice with a resourceful community for supportive growth and education (a sangha (song-gah) is the goal and vision of this offering for each breast cancer survivor/yoga practitioner. 

​

Your recovery is unique to you, and a yoga practice which supports your specific healing is one of the best practices and gifts for self-directed recovery enrichment. An individual session can help you co-create with your wise healing body and mind for your dimensional, individual recovery. 

 

Becky can help you tap into this wisdom and design a yoga sequence of movements and breath practices to nourish your specific needs in a 30-45 minute session, even with no previous yoga experience.

Yoga can lower fatigue, inflammation in

Breast Cancer Survivors

​

Practicing yoga for as little as three months can reduce fatigue and lower inflammation in breast cancer survivors, according to new research from The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital & Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). The more the women in the study practiced yoga, the better their results.
