Synopsis
Gentle Yoga strengthens the immune system and softens some of the effects of cancer treatment. It also helps to enhance our emotional and psychological wellbeing by releasing tension, anxiety, and creating “space” – physically and emotionally. Come join us for an hour of gentle yin and hatha yoga and learn simple poses and breathing exercises that you can do at home to help with your recovery. We may also include some slow and gentle vinyasa flow, as an option for some of us.
Note: Please bring along a yoga mat and a towel/yoga block. Do dress comfortably in clothing that allows freedom of movement.
(Do note that the session will be conducted in English only)

Wall of Hope
IN MEMORY OF A loving husband, a role model to his children, a selfless best friend, is what he was. His battle with cancer had been nothing but him fighting it with his resilience & determination. PCC & CanHope had brought him joy. I will remember his journey and pass it on. I’M A SURVIVOR My name is Andi and I'm a cancer survivor.Back in 2004 when I was 16 yo, I was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma, it was at the right side of my buttock. Surgery, radiation and also chemotherapy was done at that time. Then in 2009 it relapsed around the same area. In 2022 it relapsed on my right thigh, and again in 2024 it relapsed this time on my left thigh with different type of cancer. Be thankful to GOD, and always believe that He is able to heal us and help us. Andi IN MEMORY OF she touched our lives with her kindness, and no nonsence personality, she will be and is already greatly missed. Karri Hammond IN MEMORY OF Papa, although you’ve passed on 7 years you are still fondly remembered. You’ve taught me many things eg being brave to drive on the road when I got my driving licence and keeping the family together especially during your last stage of life. The many weekends and days that we spent visiting you at the hospice and nursing home helped to bring our family closer. Appreciating family relationships and a good bonding time for all of us. May you be well and happy. 🌷 Papa Chua CT IN MEMORY OF Thanks for all the memories! You are a warrior! IN HONOUR OF You fought hard my dear. You did well!
