Mid Coast Hospital and Maine Pines Racquet & Fitness partner to offer a yoga program designed to limit stress, reduce fatigue, and promote healing for cancer patients. The six-week “Yoga for Cancer” program takes place weekly, beginning February 11, 5:00 – 5:45 p.m. at Maine Pines. It is free and open to cancer patients before, after, or during treatment.

Research suggests that yoga can improve the symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment, while helping patients cope. Benefits include a decrease in fatigue, pain, and anxiety as well as an increase in appetite, better quality sleep, and improved bone density. The Yoga for Cancer program will help cancer patients develop a better sense of well being, stimulate the immune system, and increase flexibility and strength.

While this program is offered free to the community, registration is required. Registration is accepted at Maine Pines, 120 Harpswell Road in Brunswick, or by calling (207) 729-8433.
