A qualified health and cancer coach and specialist yoga teacher is holding a free event for anyone affected by cancer on February 4 to mark World Cancer Day.
Wendy Ranft-Gerber, who owns and runs Health & Balance says the ‘Yoga For Cancer’ class will focus on the therapeutic benefits that this type of health and wellbeing activity can provide.
It will be at Space Yoga Studio, Bucks Road, Douglas, from 2pm to 2:45pm – places are still available but must be booked in advanced.
Yoga
Ranft-Gerber said: “As a cancer yoga teacher I have seen the benefits that yoga can provide in terms of positive mental health and wellbeing for people living with cancer and all those affected by it.
“As well as supporting cancer patients and survivors, I also believe in supporting local cancer charities to help make a difference. Macmillan Cancer Support Isle of Man is the chosen charity for Health & Balance this year, so the class on World Cancer Day will be the first in a series of events on similar themes this year.”
Fundraising
On February 23 Wendy, and Amy Howse from Soundology, will be raising funds for two local charities via a free health and wellbeing class at Crosby Methodist Church Hall, Old Church Road.
Wendy runs a community yoga class which is a general yoga class, aimed at all abilities at the hall on the last Friday of each month.
But on February 23, Amy and Wendy have decided to host a couple of classes together throughout the day starting at 10am which combine yoga with the therapeutic benefits of music and sound.
Their aim is to fundraise for Macmillan Cancer Support IOM and Hospice Isle of Man, which is Amy’s chosen charity.
The pair are asking everyone who wishes to attend to please book in advance at https://soundology.uk/events/.
