MSKCC Yoga for the Cancer Patient (16 hours)
This 16-hour program is taught through a series of video lectures by MSK faculty and yoga therapists. Participants learn about cancer as well as how it’s diagnosed, treated, and managed, including how side effects for various cancers are a usually addressed. We also highlight the biology of yoga and its implications for overall health and discuss innovative research into using yoga as a tool for managing symptoms. In addition, we discuss how yoga instructors can work within the hospital setting, providing inpatient and outpatient posture demonstrations and more.
