In the podcast episode, I speak with Kate Garcia and Jen Tipton, and  discuss  the significant role that yoga can play in the lives of breast cancer survivors and thrivers. Both Kate and Jen lead yoga classes for our SurvivingBreastCancer.org (SBC) community and they share their personal experiences and insights on how yoga can aid in healing and recovery.

  • Restorative Yoga: Kate teaches restorative yoga classes that focus on gentle movements and breathing techniques. This style is particularly beneficial for individuals who may feel overwhelmed or disconnected from their bodies due to the stresses of cancer treatment. Kate emphasizes that restorative yoga can be challenging in its own right, as it requires participants to slow down and be present, which can be difficult in our fast-paced lives.
  • DIEP Flap Yoga: Jen leads DIEP flap yoga classes specifically designed for individuals who have undergone DEIP flap surgery. This type of yoga addresses the unique physical challenges faced by those recovering from such surgeries, including tightness and discomfort in the chest and abdomen. Jen's personal experience with DIEP flap surgery allows her to connect with her students on a deeper level, providing tailored guidance and support.
