Free Yoga Event for Pink Ribbon survivors in Croton on Hudson

A good friend of mine, Elisha Simpson, is giving back to our community by creating this event for breast cancer survivors, please pass info on to anyone you feel is in need. It could be my age, but I know too many women i n the past few years that have had to accept and deal with this cancer. Its scary, indeed, but knowing there are many in the community fighting the same fight can be so supportive, for only women who have been touched by this can only really know.

Fatigue is the most common side effect of breast cancer treatment. Some doctors estimate that 9 out of 10 people experience fatigue at some point during treatment. In studies of women with breast cancer, yoga has been shown to reduce fatigue and improve quality of sleep, physical vitality, and overall quality of life.

Neva Goldstien, 500 hour certified yoga instructor, will instruct a healing, free yoga class for women with breast cancer on Sunday, May 22nd at 5pm at Hudson Yoga. This event will offer guidance for women to become an active participant in their own healing, and to create a support group of breast cancer survivors.

“More and more women are affected by breast cancer on a daily basis. This is an opportunity for women to come together in a safe environment and be comforted, connect and share their experiences during this overwhelming time in their lives,” said organizer, Elisha Simpson, founder of laughing hearts yoga.

Kate Graham, owner of Hudson Yoga, is donating the space for this event. She states: “Most of us know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Hudson Yoga’s safe and comforting environment helps individuals focus on relaxation, strength, and balance. These attributes help sustain a positive attitude, feeling of support, and help maintain or regain flexibility in the body for women undergoing breast cancer treatment or recovery.”

Neva Goldstein received training from Satsang Yoga in Garrison and Birchwood Center in Nyack. She believes that with the tools of yoga, her students will have the opportunity to awaken the mind, body and soul connection, creating an atmosphere beneficial to healing. Neva provides a sense of comfort to her students, while they learn to incorporate the gifts of yoga into their lives.

In 2010, there were more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.

Registration is required for this event. Light refreshments will be served. For more information and registration, please contact Elisha Simpson, laughing hearts yoga, at 914-319-4010 or email at info@laughingheartsyoga.com
