For years my focus has been on serving people affected by cancer. Now, a new class in Madison, WI for Breast Cancer Survivors, Recoveryoga!™. (This is a plug, but since I don't have a website yet, here goes...)
I'm able to offer these classes with financial support from Susan B Komen Foundation, through a grant, for University of Wisconsin's Breast Center patients. It doesn't feel quite right to leave out others who may benefit, so my personal business, Izumi Joi, will fund the registration, my time and material fees for other breast cancer survivors. If it weren't for Breast Cancer Recovery, I wouldn't be able to hold the class, as the space I thought would be available at no charge didn't come through, and they found a great space in their building and made the arrangements-another gift! (I also teach yoga to anyone who is a member of Gilda's Club, no charge, 1st and 3rd Thurs evenings each month in Middleton, WI and will be offering hands-on Reiki healing there during a session with Reiki Master and reknowned teacher Christine Milovani Dec 19, 2009)
So, today's posting is info about the class (see below); I'm trying out a new format, "intro classes" that anyone can come to, and weekly, which will have same people each week, and build upon the class prior. If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, I hope to see you there-support people are welcome as well!
