Today is International Yoga Day, and people worldwide will be striking warrior poses to celebrate. In this corner of the world, Mosaic recognizes yoga as a powerful tool for improving physical and mental well-being and can be especially beneficial for those with a cancer diagnosis. “Yoga helps cancer patients, and survivors by reducing fatigue, improving sleep and decreasing pain,” says Jess Bledsoe, Mosaic physical therapy assistant and yoga instructor. “Additionally, it supports mental health by decreasing anxiety and enhancing overall emotional well-being.” Mosaic Cancer Care offers free yoga classes every Tuesday from 4 – 5 p.m. in St. Joseph. It is open to any current or past patient, family member, caregiver or friend. Call (816) 271-7017 to make a reservation. Check out other cancer-related events at https://lnkd.in/gk4iQDxW.

Founder of LifeNotes Wisdom, Heather Skoll Programs, Adapted Yoga 60 , Keeping up with the Grandkids
How can yoga stimulate my bone health and density? 👇 One of my favourite yoga poses is The Goddess Pose 🤩 This pose mimics everyday activities, such as: - Bending down to pick up objects - Lifting objects (or kids!) - Carrying groceries The Goddess Pose tones your thighs, core, and back while offering a gentle stretch to the inner thighs, hips, and pelvis. Practicing this pose can establish a strong, grounded foundation, stimulate bone health and density, and encourage proper alignment of the spine 💪🏻 This is a particularly helpful pose for those who are at a higher risk of osteoporosis, fractures, postural issues and poor spinal health, or want to prevent these health risks 😉 🔗 Check out my latest YouTube video demonstrating how you can practice an adapted version of the Goddess Pose from your chair! 🎥 Click here to watch it now: https://lnkd.in/giNfTuGU
