THE YOGA CLASS IS TAKING A BREAK FOR JUNE AND WILL RESUME SATURDAY JULY 2ND!

Saturdays at 10:00 am Alaska time (Currently held via Zoom)

This gentle yoga class with a special focus on health promotion for cancer survivors and their support people has been meeting since 2009.

Let’s Talk is a program to connect those diagnosed with cancer with someone to talk to who has “been there and done that;” someone that understands how you feel.

Our volunteers have personal experience with:

Balancing emotions ~ Making day to day decisions ~ Helping you identify needed resources ~ Maintaining relationships during this stressful time ~ Learning how to ask for help from family and friends ~ Coping with physical changes ~ Talking to children and other family members ~ Sorting out the challenges of working while undergoing treatment

Call us and we will do our best to match you with someone who has had a similar experience and who can offer ongoing support.

Cancer Connection has been supporting annual health forums in Juneau for the past 10 years and we are happy to share this information with our community.
