Oncology Yoga for Range of Motion | Full Class with Teri Gandy-Richardson | yoga4cancer

Cancer treatments and surgeries restrict range of motion. So does fear. This class addresses both. In this full oncology yoga class, yoga4cancer Senior Teacher and cancer survivor Teri Gandy-Richardson leads a comprehensive range of motion practice designed specifically for cancer patients and survivors — with Tari Prinster and the y4c teaching team practicing alongside.Teri came to yoga4cancer as a patient during her own breast cancer treatment. She was already a yoga teacher and studio owner when she was diagnosed — and found that her existing training wasn't enough to support what her body was going through. That experience is what she brings to every class she teaches. This full class systematically works range of motion throughout the entire body: ✔ Neck — gentle cervical rotation and weight-bearing release ✔ Shoulders — chicken wings, cactus arms, Eagle arm variations, and shoulder blade mobilization ✔ Feet, toes, and ankles — full range flexion, extension, and rotation sequences ✔ Spine — cat/cow, seated and standing mobilization in all directions ✔ Hips and knees — goddess pose, warrior sequences, and seated hip openers ✔ Full body — warrior one, warrior two, side angle, peaceful warrior, and triangle ✔ Balance — tree pose with arm movement, warrior three variations ✔ Floor work — supine full-body stretch, arm circles, reclined twists ✔ Extended restorative closing Props used: Yoga blocks or books, blankets or bolster, chair for modifications — all demonstrated throughout Why range of motion matters for cancer survivors: Surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy all restrict movement — in the shoulders and chest following breast cancer procedures, in the hips and spine from prolonged treatment positions, and throughout the body from the physical tension that a cancer diagnosis creates. Restoring range of motion is not cosmetic. It supports lymphatic flow, immune function, daily functioning, and long-term survivorship. Movement with breath is the mechanism — and this class delivers both.As Teri says in this class: movement with the breath pumps lymphatic fluid through the body and strengthens the immune system. This class was filmed live during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of y4c's Monday virtual class series, with Tari Prinster, Dale, Sheila, and Kathleen practicing alongside. Production is simple — the teaching is not. About Teri Gandy-Richardson: Teri is a cancer survivor, yoga therapist, and yoga4cancer Senior Teacher based in Brooklyn, New York.
