Description
Side effects of cancer treatment can lead to gait imbalance, loss of sensation or pain in feet, and decreased muscle mass. All of these side effects can contribute to challenges with balance and may leave you at a greater risk for falls. In this workshop led by an MSK yoga therapist, learn yoga tools and practices that can help to improve balance and stability. Discover how yoga can improve postural alignment, promote body awareness, muscle strength and flexibility, and joint stabilization. No prior yoga experience is necessary.
