WarriorHeart Yoga

About WarriorHeart Yoga & Bekkah:

With a unique combination of expertise as a cancer care public health professional and researcher, and over 12 years of yoga teaching experience and 23 years of personal yoga practice, I am deeply committed to sharing the transformative power of yoga with all who are willing to embark on this extraordinary journey.

 

Especially for those impacted by cancer and other illnesses, yoga is not merely a physical practice, but a pathway towards self-discovery, healing, and growth. Through the fusion of breath, movement, and mindfulness, I strive to create a nurturing space where individuals can safely cultivate self-compassion, and awaken their limitless potential.

 

Over the past 12 years, I have had the honor of guiding countless students from all walks of life through these practices, including cancer patients in active treatment, those living with chronic disease, those at end of life, and cancer caregivers.

 

We always start with a thorough intake process, where I can learn about your physical and mental goals, mobility limitations, and help shape a personalized practice to support your body, wherever you are in your cancer journey.

 

This might look like super gentle chair yoga for some, floor-based restorative and yin movement for others, or an active practice to help strengthen your body and alleviate side effects like neuropathy or pain.
