Mindfulness and Relaxation online sessions

Put simply, mindfulness is being aware and focused on now. Whatever is being felt, thought or observed now and not labelling that with good/bad or right/wrong etc. Mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood and sometimes to improve treatment outcomes in cancer patients. You will be guided in different activities that may help you cope with treatment, side-effects and to support your stress management and wellbeing in general.

The group meets online on Tuesdays at 10am and new members and beginners are warmly welcomed. In a busy life so  just join in when you can.

We can assist you to join online. To find out more and receive the Zoom online link please contact the Wellness Lounge Coordinator, phone 4215 3831 or email [email protected]

Yoga online sessions

This mindful form of breath and movement is presently offered online every Thursday morning at 10am. Yoga4 Cancer is a research based approach that addresses the specific physical and emotional needs left by cancer and its treatment.

Research shows that yoga can reduce anxiety and the effects of stress, improve sleep and mood, and increase energy in people experiencing cancer. (References available on request.)

Our program has been specifically designed to accommodate the varying needs of patients at any stage of treatment and beyond and is customised for individuals on the day. Cancer patients and carers and people new to yoga are welcome.

We can assist you to join online. To find out more and receive the Zoom online link please contact the Wellness Lounge Coordinator, phone 4215 3831 or email [email protected]
