JOIN OUR HANDS TO FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL!
Today, 'CANCER' is a common household word, with each of us closely associated with at least one near and dear one, a family member or a friend, a neighbor or a colleague diagnosed with cancer. By projecting over 2.5 million Cancer cases in 2018 and 0.7 million cases being registered every year, India is contributing to 7.8% of the global cancer burden.
Despite advancements in treatment, cancer patients and survivors continue to face unique challenges to their physical and mental health, psychological needs. Some of which persist for decades after treatment. Cancer survivors are more likely than those without a cancer history to experience poor health and disabilities.
Cancer takes a toll on survivors’ financial security, as well as their contribution to the overall economy. Treatment and lingering health problems cause patients to reduce work hours, decline promotional opportunities, and take unplanned early retirement. For 27% of cancer survivors, financial hardships include reduced disposable income, increased debt, and/or bankruptcy.
OUR PROGRAM
We at Kaivalyadhama have been relentlessly working to provide holistic care and ethical yoga practices to help the cancer patients and empower them in their journey, "back to health." The program is geared specifically for those who have undergone chemotherapy and/or radiation. The modes of reintegration used in this program are designed to specifically address the physical, mental and emotional needs of the participants. The program includes various asanas, kriyas, pranayama, mudras, and bandha, as well as chanting.
Yoga is an effective, low-cost management approach for cancer survivors that have been shown to improve mortality rates, support individual health and well-being, reduce health care costs and improve overall life quality post-cancer.
Our great success rate and word-of-mouth publicity have led to a greater number of people approaching us for therapy and treatment. There is a huge increase in the demand for our services for tackling cancer and lifestyle disorders, which we are difficult to meet.
We are seeking support for 500 Cancer affected patients to help them provide: 500 Yoga Therapy Sessions over a period of 5 months.
