How free yoga classes are helping cancer patients
Free yoga classes for cancer patients in Shropshire have been praised for their gentle and inclusive approach, helping attendees reconnect with their bodies and cope with the physical and emotional effects of cancer treatment. The classes, funded by Lingen Davies cancer charity, have been designed specifically for people at all stages of the disease.
Lingen Davies cancer charity has funded wellbeing sessions, including yoga and sound baths, at the Mascall Centre in Ludlow, Shropshire. The classes are designed to be inclusive, with seated modifications to help people at all stages of cancer. Rachel Massey, diagnosed with a primary brain tumour in 2018, said the classes were 'perfect' as they were gentle and relaxed. Marie Burrows, leading the sessions, takes a 'permissive' approach to exercise, allowing participants to reconnect with their bodies. Suzanne Morris, diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2024, said the yoga sessions were 'very gentle and very soothing', helping her feel at peace with her cancer.
