We are delighted to have yogaforcancer with Vicky Fox coming to our beautiful yoga studio in Boyle.
Vicky is an experienced and dedicated yoga trainer specialising in supporting people with cancer, going through treatment and recovery.
She will give you the tools to improve your quality of life going forward.
Since 2020 Vicky has been running trainings to train other teachers how to work safely with anyone living with cancer, to address any side effects they might be experiencing and empower them to become a co-crafter of their well-being.
She is the author of “Yoga For Cancer, A-Z of C” looking at how yoga can address the side effects of treatment for cancer. She has also written “Time To Repair” looking at how yoga can help the body to nourish and repair after illness.
