Angela Shannon – Yoga Therapy

Angela says: “I am constantly amazed at how effective Yoga is in helping us deal with life. When I was diagnosed with cancer in January 2018, my daily yoga practice became a space in which I developed the inner resources to deal with this life changing illness, and unfold the qualities of self awareness, resilience, stability, faith and trust that enabled me to meet this challenge and use it as an opportunity for growth and change.

How can yoga help people living with cancer?

Yoga offers a range of practical tools with which you may help yourself and mobilise your inner resources:

Relaxation calms and balances the nervous system, and alleviates the anxiety and stress which depress immune functioning and hinder healing.

Breathing exercises improve respiration, relieve tension, and restore balance and calm.

Meditation develops the detachment and clarity that enable us to acknowledge and accept the realities of cancer, and to manage our fears and worries.

Physical postures increase energy levels, help to remove toxic waste, and enhance the functioning of our internal organs and systems.

Angela has taught yoga for 13 years (BWY) and trained to teach ‘Yoga for People Living with Cancer’.
