WELCOME
With this website we would like to provide useful information on the topic of yoga for cancer, both for people affected by cancer and for professionals. The map under Offer shows the locations of regular yoga offers for cancer patients in Switzerland. Further information on the providers of these offers can be found under Who we are. The pages Benefits and Research show the positive physical and psychological changes that can result from regular yoga practice during and after cancer. The Events page lists special events for cancer patients, their relatives, as well as professionals.
This website is visually supported by various types of water lilies and lotus blossoms. The lotus flower has an important symbolic meaning in yoga. In short, it stands for growing out of the mud at the bottom of the pond – symbolic of darkness, pain and suffering – towards the light, which stands for joy, health, harmony and numerous other positive qualities. Alleviating suffering and pain and promoting health holistically is also the goal of the yoga offerings presented here.
Those interested in what yoga for cancer might look like in practice can find some examples under the FAQs.
We endeavour to research the information presented here carefully and to keep it up to date. We are always open to constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement of any kind.
