Gentle, low impact exercise is great for your physical AND mental health after a cancer diagnosis. Our classes are led by compassionate facilitators who adapt their instruction so people of all physical capabilities can join in and enjoy.

We offer lots of options, so jump in and try one out soon:
* Tai Chi - flow through movements including Overhead Rainbow, Releasing the Dove, and Snake Creeps through the Grass. Practicing Tai Chi can help with many common side effects of cancer and treatment including stress and anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, and pain.
* Chair Yoga - be guided through a body awareness exercise and then multiple yoga poses while sitting in or standing by your chair.
* Restorative Yoga - be led through a variety of relaxing yoga poses which you'll hold for several minutes. This allows you to deeply settle inside your body and rest your mind.
* Yoga Nidra - a guided meditation technique that induces deep relaxation. Forty minutes is equivalent to a 2-3 hour nap!
* Strength Building - gentle to mild stretching and toning using resistant bands, light weights, and your own bodyweight.

Attendees didn't know this...but our Tribute Dinner photographer Jeremy was sick! Thankfully, we had not one but TWO local photographers step up to help capture the incredible evening. We wanted to take the opportunity to highlight and thank them both.

Shanna Maydwell with Shanna's Photography stepped up to offer her photography services when Volunteer Coordinator Sandra Logan reached out to her last minute for help. Thank you so much, Shanna!

Cancer Services offers a variety of free, ongoing wellness classes which meet weekly. These classes include Tai Chi, yoga, strength building, and more. Most of the classes we offer have been proven beneficial for people with cancer through clinical studies.

We know how expensive gym, yoga, and other exercise studio memberships can be, especially on a budget strained by cancer. Thanks to donor generosity, we can offer these classes free of charge. No long-term commitment is necessary, and if you really like a class, you can attend an unlimited number of times.

Our Director of Wellness and Education, Lauren Richwine, is leading a session to walk you through the types of classes, how they benefit you, what to expect when you attend, and answer any questions you have.
