Yoga as Medicine Series
with Tari Prinster
3 Thursdays in March:
March 4, 11, 18
11:00am – 12:30pm PST
Via Zoom
In keeping with the March theme “Plants as Medicine”, these yoga4cancer workshops are titled “Yoga as Medicine”. During our 90 minute sessions we will explore my claim that “Yoga is as scientific as it is spiritual”. Mind you, these will not be science classes. No textbooks, reading assignments or tests. The science part will be short discussion and my tiny demonstrations. Mostly we will find and grow our yoga roots, may our bodies mimic trees and blossom our hearts in a good yoga practice.
Our goals will be will to:
- explore the science of yoga
- utilize the breath to stabilize all body systems
- increase your metabolism
- rediscover balance, harmony and well-being.
Join me for Yoga as Medicine Workshop Series. You will learn specific yoga sequences that keep your day to day physical and emotional well-being in perfect balance and harmony. Yoga is a simple, non-expensive and fun. Together we will feel content and beautiful, chat, and share a giggle.
Yoga Props are essential to this practice; both for your safety and harmony. Please have: water, a yoga mat, yoga props including blocks, bolster and blanket, or home-made variations. To learn more about home-made yoga props go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2WpPGn401A&feature=youtu.be
Classes are suitable to all levels and physical needs. Beginners welcome.
y4c is an evidence-informed oncology yoga method tailored to address the specific physical and emotional needs left by cancer treatments. Tari Prinster created y4c after her diagnosis in 2000, because she was curious why yoga was so healing for her, but not recommended by her doctors. She has been a Living Beauty since 2009 when she led the first Serenity Yoga Retreat in Monterrey. She has been teaching cancer patients and survivors; lecturing and training yoga teachers all over the world. She appeared on Good Morning America with Robin Roberts demonstrating how yoga creates balance and harmony; was featured in the film ‘YogaWoman’; and wrote the book, “Yoga for Cancer” in 2014.
