| | | | | Check out the Summer 2021 issue of Bridges, Memorial Sloan Kettering’s newsletter for survivors, where one of our yoga instructors, Clare Patterson, shares her own story of surviving a rare cancer as a teenager and her journey to teaching yoga at MSK.
While Clare started practicing yoga in college, it was the onset of a serious side effect of her radiation therapy that motivated her to make a big lifestyle change and become a trained oncology yoga teacher.
“The practice of yoga has helped me to stay healthy, resilient, and maintain a positive outlook on life as a survivor,” writes Clare. “Yoga helps me feel grounded and present, both on and off the mat, and has helped mitigate the migraines caused by double vision. I am so grateful to teach yoga to patients at MSK, and it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to give back!”
Clare Patterson teaches yoga classes several times a week through our Integrative Medicine at Home membership program, and in some of our mind-body workshops and series. Read Clare’s complete story, and more, in the new issue of Bridges online. | | | | |

| | During cancer treatment, you may experience your physical body in a different way. Yoga can help you reconnect to your body, treat yourself with compassion and loving-kindness, and feel the strength and light that you carry inside. Dance/movement therapy can support this process as you re-engage with your body safely and give you a creative way to express experiences that may be difficult to describe in words.
Feeling Good! Reclaiming Your Body Using Yoga and Dance is a motivating and supportive workshop designed to help you feel more at ease in your body and bring you to a place of awareness, forgiveness, and acceptance. | | | | |
