🌿 A little information about body brushing, as demonstrated by one of our lovely practitioners at Madlani Cancer Support. 💜

Dry body brushing is a simple self-care ritual using a dry brush with gentle strokes across the skin. It can be a lovely way to take a few mindful moments for yourself, while gently exfoliating the skin and leaving you feeling refreshed.

Our guide shows you how to get started — beginning at the feet, working upwards with gentle strokes, and taking your time. 🩵

If you are living with or recovering from cancer, please check with your healthcare team before trying body brushing, particularly during treatment. Avoid broken, irritated, sensitive or healing skin, and always listen to your body.

Sometimes wellbeing is about those small moments of care — slowing down, reconnecting with yourself and doing something nurturing just for you. 🌿

For your today and tomorrow’s.

🧬 A Week of Learning, Discovery & Practice

Our founder, Dinta, recently had the fantastic opportunity to take part in an intensive learning week at Barts Cancer Institute, organised by Independent Cancer Patients’ Voice (ICPV).

The week brought together cancer patients, advocates, researchers and healthcare professionals to explore the science behind cancer and gain hands-on experience in the laboratory. 🔬

From understanding how cells work, grow and change, to exploring genomic medicine, cancer biology and laboratory techniques, it was an incredible opportunity to see first-hand the research that sits behind advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

For Dinta, experiences like this are particularly valuable. Madlani Cancer Support is built around listening to and supporting people affected by cancer, and continuing to learn about the science, research and patient perspective helps us strengthen the support and information we provide to our community. 💜

A huge thank you to Independent Cancer Patients’ Voice and Barts Cancer Institute for creating such an informative, welcoming and inspiring week — and to everyone Dinta had the pleasure of learning alongside.

Learning today, to help us support your tomorrows. 💜🩵

🏃‍♀️✨ MEET OUR 2027 LONDON MARATHON RUNNERS – KANAN & ZARA! ✨🏃‍♀️

We are incredibly excited to introduce Kanan and Zara, who will be taking on the 2027 TCS London Marathon in support of Madlani Cancer Support! 💜🩵🧡

Both of our runners have very personal reasons for taking on this huge challenge.

🩷 Zara was inspired to go further after completing a half marathon in 2024. Her mum was diagnosed with cancer during Covid and is thankfully now all clear. Her mum now supports Madlani Cancer Support through wreath-making workshops, making Zara’s marathon journey especially meaningful to her and her family.

🧡 Kanan is taking on her first marathon, having previously completed a half marathon and a Hyrox. She'll be running in memory of her great aunt, who she lost to breast cancer and describes as being like a second grandmother to her. For Kanan, this challenge is about proving that she can do hard things while raising money to help other people affected by cancer and their families.

Over the coming months, we'll be following their training, fundraising and journey all the way to the finish line – and we can't wait to cheer them on! 🏅

💰 Want to support Kanan & Zara? Every donation, share and word of encouragement will help them on their way and, most importantly, help Madlani Cancer Support continue supporting people affected by cancer.

Every mile brings hope, strength and support to those who need it most.

Let's get behind Kanan & Zara! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🎉

🧘 Yoga with Madlani Cancer Support 💜

We offer two online yoga classes each week with the lovely Sarah Cross, giving you the choice between gentle restorative movement or a more active morning flow.

But why yoga? 🌿
Yoga is about so much more than flexibility or complicated poses. By bringing together breathing, gentle movement, relaxation, balance and strengthening, it can be a supportive way to care for both your body and mind during and after cancer treatment.

Research suggests yoga may help to:
🌿 Breathe & relax – gentle breathing and relaxation can help you feel calmer and more settled.

🤸 Keep moving – adaptable movement can support mobility, flexibility, strength and confidence.

💜 Reduce stress – yoga may support stress, anxiety, fatigue and emotional wellbeing.

⚖️ Support balance – controlled movement can help with balance, coordination and body awareness.

💪 Feel stronger – gentle weight-bearing and strengthening movements can be adapted to your ability.

🌙 Sleep better – there is encouraging evidence that yoga may help improve sleep quality.

Our weekly classes
🌙 Restorative Chair Yoga
Mondays | 8–9pm | Online
A gentle, calming class and a safe space to breathe, move and reset. You don't need to be able to get down onto the floor.

☀️ Hatha Flow Yoga
Thursdays | 7–8am | Online
A more active class combining movement, breathing, balance and strengthening, suitable for those with an intermediate fitness level and some experience of yoga or general exercise.

✨ Your first taster session is FREE.
Afterwards, we ask for a donation of £5 per class or £15 per month for unlimited access to both classes.

📱 To register, WhatsApp or call Sarah on 07562 660622.

You don't have to be flexible, strong or experienced to benefit from yoga. Come as you are. 💜

For your today and your tomorrows.
