Yoga Thrive is a research-based, therapeutic Yoga program for cancer survivors and their support persons. This gentle Yoga program is based on hatha Yoga, but has been modified for cancer survivors- especially those who are experiencing stiffness, pain, stress or fatigue. Dr. Nicole Culos-Reed has been researching the benefits of this program since 2002. Past participants have found significant benefits in overall mood, stress levels, physical strength, and quality of life.
Yoga Thrive is open to all cancer survivors (on or off treatment) and their support persons. Research continues to be tied to the program, but participation in the research study is voluntary and involves completion of a confidential questionnaire at four different times (i.e., before the program, after the program, and two and four-months follow-up). Class sizes are kept small (15 max.) to ensure individual attention and safety, and no previous Yoga experience is necessary. Each class is 75 minutes and held once per week. The program is progressive (i.e. each class builds on the previous) and led by a certified instructor trained in the Yoga Thrive program. The Program is offered on Sundays at 11:30am to 1:00pm.
