Yoga for Cancer Care (YFCC) will be coming to Be Here Now Yoga, in Historic Downtown Flemington in January 2015. Yoga for Cancer Care offers programs to people whose lives have been affected by cancer, helping empower them to be active participants in their care. These programs are open to cancer survivors, those in treatment (with doctor’s permission), and their supporters. YFCC offers private sessions, classes, workshops and retreats, all of which are appropriate for any level of ability or experience, and are tailored to meet the needs of the participants. Classes include gentle yoga postures, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to encourage healing, strength and well-being. YFCC retreats are held throughout the year and provide participants an opportunity for relaxation, community support, and to learn and experience yoga and complementary therapies in a safe and supportive environment. YFCC instructors are all certified, experienced yoga teachers with specialized training in therapeutic yoga for cancer.

Lori Thatch, RN, E-RYT 500, a YFCC instructor will be holding gentle yoga classes at Be Here Now Yoga on Main Street, Flemington every Sunday, from 1:00-2:30, beginning January 11. No previous yoga experience is necessary. Participants can come to practice gentle, guided movement or, if needed, to simply rest in a restorative pose in a safe, supportive environment. Cost is by donation ($5 donation suggested). Pre-registration is required for this class. Be Here Now Yoga is owned and operated by Karen Walsh, a Flemington resident, local educator, and active community volunteer for over 25 years.
