Yoga Workshops for Breast Cancer Survivors
Your Element Yoga (YEY), Sudbury's only studio solely devoted to yoga, is pleased to announce a series of three workshops to help breast cancer survivors, and their support people, navigate the journey back to physical, mental and emotional health. YEY welcomes Rhoda Skloff, a leading local personal trainer and Pilates instructor, with over 10 years of experience.
Through her personal training business, Personal Best Fitness and Recovery, Skloff has worked with a number of breast cancer survivors. She began to notice these clients, while having completed their medical recovery, where having trouble reconnecting with their post-cancer bodies and spirit. Skloff began to explore courses designed to help survivors to empower themselves through breath, yoga, Pilates and weight training– as well as create a calm environment of community. As Skloff noted,"Nobody chooses to get breast cancer, but they certainly can choose to recover, feel good, regain strength, increase range of motion and get back to where they once were– and beyond.”
Your Element Yoga is focused on helping students explore how yoga can positively impact each person's physical, emotional and mental wellness. The connection between the mind and body can be very powerful in overcoming injury or illness."I couldn't be more excited to have Rhonda lead these workshops and provide a forum for breast cancer survivors to regain physical strength and help retake their lives”, said YEY owner Sue Cushing.
11 years ago, after working with a client who was diagnosed with breast cancer and had numerous challenges in recovery, Skloff began to look for programs for personal trainers who want to work with breast cancer patients. Ultimately, she completed certifications in Yoga for Breast Cancer and Beyond and the Pink Ribbon Program for Pilates and Breast Cancer. The workshops will combine yoga, Pilates and light weights and is open to Breast Cancer survivors and their support people.
The first workshop is February 12, 2012 from 12:00-2:00 pm at Your Element Yoga, 525 Boston Post Road, Sudbury, MA. Additional workshops will be March 11 and April 22 both from 12:00-2:00 pm.
