Yoga
Time
10:00 AM
Yoga practices can provide many benefits for those impacted by cancer from improving overall health to improving quality of life. Yoga helps with stress and anxiety, pain, sleep immune system regulation, appetite and physical function. Stress and Anxiety:
Yoga can help cancer patients relax and cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also lower heart rate and blood pressure. Pain: Yoga can help reduce sensitivity to pain. Sleep: Yoga can help improve quality of sleep and improve Circadian rhythm.
Immune System: Yoga can help boost the immune system and some studies have found consistent yoga during treatment reduces growth of tumors. Appetite: Yoga can help increase appetite, loss of appetite is a common side effect of some cancer treatments.
Physical Function: Yoga can help improve physical function, including flexibility and balance, and reduce risk of falls. It can also help cancer patients move around more easily after surgery. Join certified instructor Liz Springborn for yoga each Tuesday morning at the Northern Arizona Flagstaff CSCAZ location. Liz is a registered
nurse serving in oncology and bone marrow transplant when she was a bedside nurse. She started yoga for her own health and wellbeing. She loves learning and completed a yoga teacher training and enjoys teaching many styles of yoga. This class is specifically
designed for those impacted by cancer. You are welcome to bring your own yoga equipment or utilize what we have at CSCAZ. Be sure to register to reserve your spot each Tuesday morning.

15-Minutes of Movement
Time
4:00 PM
In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog
and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital
stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!
In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions are held on Zoom at 4:00 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate
your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.
