At Ochre House we offer support to women living with cancer.
Practitioner Eva Sacchi is currently supporting women with a weekly, inclusive therapeutic yoga group, created to support women meeting life with cancer.
‘Yoga for Women Living With Cancer’ – or ‘Oncology Yoga’ – is an evidence-informed yoga method, tailored to address the specific physical and emotional needs left by the cancer and cancer treatments. It is a comprehensive yoga practice, designed to mitigate the short and long term side-effects and achieve long term health, adaptable to all stages and cancer types.
This practice is designed to help cancer survivors achieve the oncology and healthcare organisation recommendation to speed recovery or defend against cancer reoccurrence.
Each session aims to:
– build strength and flexibility
– strengthen the immune system and the lymphatic function
– reduce cancer related fatigue
– improve sleep and reduce anxiety
– increase bone density
– help manage common side effects like lymphedema, constipation and neuropathy
– encourage survivors to participate in their wellness plan
The sessions value the needs, abilities and experience of each individual. The only requirement is to be able to get up and down to the floor unaided.
Ochre House invites community and offers time for connection at the end of each session.
Eva Sacchi is a specialist ‘yoga for cancer’ practitioner here at Ochre House.
