| | | | | Following a cancer diagnosis, during treatments, and in survivorship, you may feel a sense of loss and disembodiment. Music and dance can be vital for expressing these experiences as you reconnect with your inner strength and rebuild your individuality.
Join this lively workshop co‑led by Holly Mentzer and Jennifer Whitley, two licensed MSK creative arts therapists. You will have the opportunity to join in dance or movement, active listening, sing‑along, and lyric discussion activities with themes of empowerment and resilience. | | | | |

| | Join Integrative Medicine Service chief Dr. Jun J. Mao and MSK mind‑body/tai chi instructor Robin Hardbattle for a special online workshop – Tai Chi for Healthy Aging: Better Sleep, Balance, and Immune Function . Together, they will discuss the scientific evidence and health benefits of tai chi and introduce some basic movements for you to practice.
Movement and activity are key for health and longevity. Incorporating the art of tai chi into your daily life will allow you to stay mobile and active for as long as possible.
Through the regular practice of tai chi:
| | • | Your strength, balance, and coordination will steadily improve. |
| • | You will move with more ease and confidence. |
| • | You will experience a calm mind and relaxed body, which will encourage better sleep and regulate immune function. |

| | Our Integrative Medicine at Home membership program offers you the flexibility and freedom to choose the kind of support you need, when you need it, and where you need it. Having a variety of options at his fingertips is one of the many things Alan, a current member, enjoys about his experience:
“Getting a diagnosis of cancer is something that, clearly, nobody ever would wish for. As difficult as the disease may be - and as strange as this sounds - there are some upside aspects to it. One of them for me has been my involvement with the MSK Integrative Medicine Service and its wonderful staff.
I was diagnosed with cancer in 2011. After surgery, I started exercise classes at the Bendheim Integrative Medicine Center gym every Wednesday afternoon. I was using muscles I didn’t know I had! The truth is that it’s one of the best things that ever happened to me and for me. I am eternally grateful.
Then came the coronavirus. Thankfully, Dr. Jun Mao and his staff quickly organized the Integrative Medicine at Home membership program. This has been terrific! Now I have four fitness classes a week instead of one and, additionally, I have access to all the other classes offered at the Center that I didn’t focus on before.”
Join people like Alan and connect with others in the MSK community directly from home, and have fun! | | | | | | |
