Littman Cancer Center offers free yoga classes to patients

Littman Cancer Center at St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital in New York will be offering free yoga classes for cancer patients twice a month. Classes will be held on the lower level of the Cornwall campus in the Center for Physical Therapy. Beginning in January, the classes will be held on the first and third Thursdays of every month at 6:00 pm.

Yoga can be beneficial for cancer patients because it is gentle, therapeutic and combines many different elements of exercise. The gentle exercise and breathing techniques can help improve overall physical and emotional well-being for cancer patients and help minimize the side effects of their cancer treatment.
