survive & thrive - deep healing for cancer

One Sunday per month at Metta San Rafael

Join Stacy Conlon for a monthly gathering where we create a sanctuary of healing for those touched by cancer. Each session features gentle movement, guided imagery meditation, hands-on Reiki healing, and a serene Crystal Bowl Sound Bath. 

This holistic approach combines multiple healing modalities to alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of balance and deep well-being.

Open to All: Whether you're in treatment, recovery, or supporting someone who is, you’re invited to come exactly as you are. This gathering is designed to be a safe, loving space for sharing and connecting with others on similar journeys.

Oncology Yoga Classes with ashley stachon

Mondays and Tuesdays at Metta Yoga San Rafael

Active Patient Oncology Yoga

Mondays 9:15am-10:30am at Metta Yoga San Rafael

This evidence-informed yoga class supports individuals currently undergoing cancer treatment through safe, accessible movement and breath practices rooted in the Yoga4Cancer methodology. The practice is designed to meet participants exactly where they are—physically, emotionally, and energetically—while supporting strength, flexibility, immune and lymphatic health, bone density, sleep, and the management of common treatment-related side effects such as fatigue, lymphedema, neuropathy, and constipation.

Classes emphasize nervous system regulation, mindful pacing, and rest, with all postures offered using props and modifications. There is no expectation to push or overexert; instead, the practice honors fluctuating energy levels and the realities of treatment, creating a supportive and compassionate space for care, connection, and ease.

Life After Treatment Oncology Yoga Class

Tuesdays 6:45pm-8pm at Metta Yoga San Rafael

This class supports individuals post-treatment or in long-term survivorship as they navigate the physical, emotional, and identity shifts that can follow cancer. Rooted in the Yoga4Cancer methodology, the practice focuses on rebuilding strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence while supporting immune and lymphatic health, bone density, joint mobility, and the management of lingering side effects such as fatigue, pain, stiffness, neuropathy, and lymphedema.

Classes emphasize mindful movement, breathwork, and nervous system balance, offering adaptable practices taught with a deep understanding of cancer recovery and long-term survivorship needs. There is no pressure to “bounce back” or perform; instead, the class creates a supportive space to rebuild trust with the body and reconnect at a sustainable pace. Appropriate for all levels, including those new to yoga or returning after time away.
