Follow on Google News | Healing Cancer One Pose At A TimeSusi Hately Aldous and University of Calgary Cancer Center Develops Yoga for Cancer Survivors DVD
By: Maria Olsson-Tysor, Global Media PR Cancer survivors can experience a wide range of physical, emotional and mental trauma. Hately Aldous has put her expertise in the field of rehabilitation, yoga and mind-body synergy to work in helping them heal the body and improve mental and physical well-being. “There are many facets cancer survivors often go through, from the effects of chemotherapy to surgery, as well as lack of energy and emotional issues,” says Hately Aldous. “Previous cancer survivors who have completed this program have found significant benefits in physical strength and function, overall mood, stress levels and quality of life.” Yoga for Cancer Survivors is a four-disc (9 ½ hour long) DVD series based on a seven-week yoga program offered at Calgary’s Tom Baker Cancer Centre. This course has been scientifically proven to improve a cancer survivors’ quality of life and the exercises were specifically chosen and modified for cancer survivors. Research has shown that regular physical activity improves a cancer survivor’s chances of survival. It can also help them get over the debilitating fatigue that affects so many survivors, improve their cardiovascular performance and allow them to return to their activities of daily living. The Yoga for Cancer Survivors research is under the direction of Dr. Nicole Culos-Reed, one of Canada’s leading experts in the field of physical activity and cancer. The yoga therapy program was developed by Hately Aldous to meet the specific needs of cancer survivors. The DVD series begins with a gentle, introductory routine and progresses to more challenging yoga poses as the viewer progresses. The Yoga for Cancer Survivors DVD can be purchased from Functional Synergy (www.functionalsynergy.com or 866-229-2645) Starting in January 2009, Hately Aldous will be leading a series of Yoga for Cancer Survivors workshops in USA, Canada and Europe. These 1-day events will be open for cancer survivors post treatment and will be complimentary with the purchase of the Yoga for Cancer Survivors DVD.
