Today, I am an example that it is never too late to start, never too late to change. Yoga made me feel younger and stand straighter.

In Tari’s own words, she recounts her background with yoga and cancer: ‘When I was fifty, I started a yoga practice on a hunch it would ease menopausal symptoms. It did! That was sixteen years ago. Today, I am an example that it is never too late to start, never too late to change. Yoga made me feel younger and stand straighter. I sleep better, my weight is good, and my bones are strong.

I found yoga a powerful tool to manage the daily challenges of cancer treatments as well as the side effects and life-long vulnerabilities they create. I discovered yoga was more than a way to stay healthy. It gave me emotional support and spiritual comfort so needed during recovery.

I was curious why yoga was doing so much for me. My research made it clear why yoga strengthens the immune system, thus providing, among other things, protection against a cancer reoccurrence.

All that was 15 years ago when not much was heard about yoga’s healing power. Since then, I’ve developed a carefully constructed system of yoga poses and sequences, each one based on needs of cancer survivors. This is the y4c methodology.

My book, Yoga for Cancer: A Guide to Managing Side Effects, Boosting Immunity, and Improving Recovery for Cancer Survivors, provides an easy to follow illustrated guide to help cancer survivors (and their friends & family) to take an active role in the recovery and long-term health. It is based on recent research, my personal and professional experience and includes 53 poses and 20 sequences that use movement and breathing to reduce and manage cancer and it’s treatments impact.

Poses of the Week – The Turkey Detox

Oh boy… we are heading into the glutinous season starting this week full of turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, cornbread, cheese, pumpkin pie and, of course, stuffing… and if you are anything like me, I feel ‘stuffed’ even thinking about it. So I make sure to increase my detoxifying yoga poses. Because the great thing about yoga is whether you are detoxing from chemo, getting rid of rogue c Read more of this blog post »
