Yoga Therapy across the Cancer Care Continuum

This book explores how yoga therapy supports people throughout every stage of the cancer experience — from diagnosis and active treatment to survivorship, recurrence, and end of life. It presents an evidence-informed, compassionate approach that addresses the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual needs of individuals affected by cancer.

The text explains the biology of cancer, treatment side effects, and their whole-person impact, while integrating ancient yoga philosophy with modern biomedical research. It includes insights from 40 experienced oncology yoga therapists working in diverse clinical and community settings.

The book also highlights professional considerations such as safety, scope of practice, contraindications, documentation, and integration into healthcare systems, while advocating for equitable and accessible cancer care.

Essential reading for oncology professionals, yoga therapists, allied health providers, and individuals living with cancer, as well as their families and caregivers.
