Relax and
Focus - Mind/Body/Spirit
Exercise
Research suggests that many cancer patients benefit from
exercise because it reduces stress, rebuilds strength
post-treatment and reduces treatment-related fatigue and
nausea. Training in gentle, appropriate movement techniques
like Yoga and Tai Chi are conducted by qualified instructors
and are tailored to meet the needs of individuals at all
levels of ability.
Yoga
With its gentle stretching and deep breathing, yoga can
increase flexibility, relieve muscle tension, aid in
relaxation and promote a feeling of serenity. No experience
is necessary. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a
mat, towel or blanket to lie on.

T'ai Chi
T'ai Chi is a whole-body exercise system and can be a
means of personal transformation. Gentle postures are used
to help reduce stress and fatigue, develop mental
relaxation and physical stamina, and regain hope and a
sense of active participation in an individual's own quest
for wellness. No experience is necessary. Please wear
comfortable clothing.

Qigong
Qigong (pronounced chee gung) is a Chinese system of self-maintenance, self-healing and increasing vitality
through cultivating the Chi, the vital energy in all things. Qigong includes specific postures, some moving
and some stationary, breathing methods and exercises to improve focus while reducing stress. Some of the
Qigong practices help increase energy, some help to circulate the Chi, and others are used to cleanse and
strengthen the body. The movements in Qigong are soft and gentle, allowing for even the physically challenged
to participate at their own pace. Although Qigong is not a magic pill, research has shown that regular and
consistent practice can enhance the immune system, reduce hypertension, and aid in digestive and other
natural processes.

Creative Expression
“ART AS SUPPORTIVE EXPRESSION”
The American Art Therapy Association states that, ultimately,
the art therapy process should help participants move from
isolation to connection, from powerlessness to personal
empowerment, and from denial to hope. We will use different
media… such as collage, colored pencils, craypas, and paint to
create artwork that will support healing, mindfulness and wellness.
