I am very excited to be writing this new blog for Patch on the health benefits of yoga! I teach a yoga class for cancer survivors at Yoga Sanctuary in Mamaroneck on Sundays from 2:30-4:00 p.m. I have been practicing yoga for 25 years and personally know the benefits the practice has added to my life. I completed my 200-hour training at  Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in 2008. Last year I completed a special supplemental training program at Om Center in New York for teaching yoga to cancer survivors. Yoga can ease anxiety and depression, decrease fatigue, increae flexibility, build strength, improve sleep, help circulation and balance. I look forward to writing about my experiences teaching and sharing research and news on this important topic.
