Oncology Yoga Training


  • Sol Yoga 256 West Patrick Street Frederick, MD, 21701 (map)

POSTPONED FROM JANUARY DUE TO SNOW - more time to signup :)

March 9th - March 10th

Saturday & Sunday @ 8:00 am - 4:30 pm

Join Shelley Pentony, certified Oncology Yoga Practitioner through the world’s leading Oncology Yoga Certification program, Y4C, to learn about yoga as an integrative practice to address and support both active treatment cancer patients and survivors.


This training will include exploring the newest and most innovative research that looks at the intersection of Oncology and Yoga as well as her many years of experience teaching yoga and meditation to cancer patients as part of a medical team. You will learn how to safely and effectively teach yoga, pranayama and meditation to students at any point in their cancer journey, while understanding the unique barriers, considerations and precautions that those students potentially face.

Participants will learn about cancer, how it is diagnosed, treated and managed as well as the many side effects that yoga helps to mitigate and ease. We will explore the tools needed to feel confident not only teaching cancer patients the healing practice of yoga but also with the ability to develop individualized, safe and appropriate treatment plans and goals for your students. You will learn skills to prepare you to potentially work in a hospital or medical setting, as part of a collaborative, integrative and goal oriented team.

This training will be full of mindful moments, tending to our own nervous systems, community connection, and personally engaging in the healing, body based techniques we will be learning about so that our group is supported and resourced while exploring these heavy topics in our mind and body.
