Healing Through Movement : A Workshop Series
You don’t have to be flexible.
You don’t have to know the poses.
You just have to be curious.
Join us for Introduction to Yoga: History & Philosophy, a gentle, welcoming workshop created for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.
This session is an invitation to explore what yoga really is—beyond the mat and the misconceptions. Together, we’ll look at the history and philosophy of yoga, how it has evolved over thousands of years, and how it can support the connection between mind and body during healing.
✨ This workshop is not about performance or pushing limits.
✨ It’s about listening, learning, and honoring what your body needs right now.
✨ Some topics may be sensitive—participants are encouraged to come with open minds and open hearts.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month 💙
This month, we honor the strength of those facing cervical cancer and remind them they don’t have to face it alone.
In 2025, Hope Cancer Resources served 76 cervical cancer patients. Each number represents a person navigating fear, uncertainty, and hope — and finding support when it mattered most.
Because of a caring community, those 76 individuals didn’t face cancer alone.
You can be part of that impact.

Our mission is to provide compassionate, professional cancer support and education in the Northwest Arkansas region today and tomorrow. Our vision is to provide hope and enhance quality of life by expanding prevention, wellness and comprehensive cancer support services in our region.
Dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and we want to do everything we can to help patients and caregivers throughout the journey. We provide patient support, navigation, survivorship and wellness programs, and cancer prevention education at no cost for families and communities in our four-county region of Benton, Carroll, Madison and Washington.
We offer a continuum of emotional support including crisis intervention, individualized supportive counseling and support groups. Our team of licensed social workers provides emotional support to patients, family members and/or caregivers.
We provide transportation to and from cancer-related medical appointments to help ensure access to care when no other assistance is available.
We help alleviate some of the financial burdens patients may face due to their cancer diagnosis and treatment. Our financial assistance includes cancer-related medical prescription medication, cancer-related dental care and other emergency needs including rent/mortgage, car payments, gasoline (gas cards), travel for out-of-town treatment (hotel, airfare), utilities, and homeowners and automobile insurance.
Our Spanish interpreter is available to assist patients during their cancer-related appointments to help ensure clear communication with their medical team.
A Certified To***co Treatment Specialist is available to meet one-on-one with patients and caregivers to talk about strategies and resources to help in quitting the use of to***co products.
In 2017, we launched our Wellness Center for Hope to promote wellness, healthy living and overall quality of life for cancer survivors and caregivers by offering access to knowledge and a variety of health-oriented activities that will aid in a healthier cancer journey. Our wellness team provides individualized plans to help with emotional and physical well-being.
Educational programs are a key component of our services to promote the overall health and quality of life of Northwest Arkansas residents. Our staff, including a Certified Health Education Specialist provides free cancer prevention education to schools, churches, business and civic organizations in our region.
Our programs are funded through grants as well as individual and corporate donations. Every dollar donated to Hope Cancer Resources stays in Northwest Arkansas and benefits our community and families living with cancer in our area.
