Training yoga teachers to serve the cancer community.

The Christina Phipps Foundation partners with healthcare facilities to train certified yoga teachers in oncology yoga. In each training since 2010 we strive to include oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, physical therapists, social workers and nurse navigators.
