ONKO YOGA – TRAINING FOR LECTURERS
Yoga with respect, sensitivity and awareness
This specialized training is now a must for every yoga or movement instructor who wants to expand their knowledge and skills beyond the realm of classical or power yoga.
Oncology is unfortunately becoming an increasingly topical topic – and it is important to be informed, educated and able to respond with sensitivity and for sure.
The knowledge you will gain during this weekend will be useful not only when leading yoga classes, but also in everyday life - it will help you better understand the human body, psyche and the healing process.
Approach and conducting the training
Our excellent team of lecturers will introduce you to the topic with respect, openness and matter-of-factness - without excessive emotions, with an emphasis on understanding, facts and practical skills.
Just meeting this stellar team of experts and instructors during one weekend is an inspiration in itself.
Together we will learn how to be a more perceptive, sensitive and better prepared instructor who can create a safe space not only for oncology patients but also for students with various health limitations.
Aim of the training
The aim of the training is to learn how to conduct yoga classes in such a way that people undergoing treatment or after an oncological disease could participate in them.
This project was created as part of the activities of the association Karma Srdcem, which has been organizing specialized yoga lessons for oncology patients throughout the Czech Republic for several years. These lessons are open to everyone, without the need for a medical certificate or prior notification.
It should be noted, however, that completing this training does not automatically place you among the instructors cooperating with the Karma Heart Association. The training is intended primarily for your own education and development in this sensitive area.
For possible cooperation with our association, it is possible to arrange individually after completing the training.
We understand that each person comes to yoga at a different stage of their journey.
For some, yoga during chemotherapy or radiation is unthinkable, for others it can be a source of calmness, courage and inner strength. After the end of treatment, yoga often becomes the biggest support when returning to normal life. Each practice is therefore individually adapted to the current needs of the client so that he can gradually regain strength, balance and confidence in his own body in a safe environment.
