Key Training Homework: The Healing Role of the Therapist
- Reflect on the unique role of the yoga therapist in cancer care—how it goes beyond physical practices to include emotional presence, communication, and support across all koshas. Explore what makes group yoga therapy safe and meaningful, and deepen your awareness of your own communication style and therapeutic strengths.
Retreat Homework
- Design your own group yoga therapy session or series tailored to individuals navigating cancer recovery. You'll choose a theme, plan a safe and supportive structure, and consider adaptations for common challenges. Reflect on how your session supports all five koshas and integrates trauma-informed communication. Close with personal insights from the design process and your growth through the course.
