Tamera Anderson-Hanna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Addiction Professional, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and became a Registered Yoga Teacher while coping with breast cancer in 2015. She owns Wellness, Therapy, & Yoga in Florida where she provides personal wellness services and coaching and she is a public speaker on wellness-related topics. You can connect with her at www.wellnesstherapyyoga.com.
In April, during the “Day of Caring Miami,” I had the unique opportunity to speak on a panel alongside fellow medical and exercise professionals on the importance of fitness when recovering from breast cancer. According to audience feedback, it was a helpful presentation about the importance of exercise during the healing process.
From my perspective, exercise and movement helps with mind and body healing. During my early journey with breast cancer in 2015, I became a certified yoga teacher, and in 2017, I went on to become certified in Yoga 4 Cancer (Y4C). I can speak directly about some of the benefits of exercise and diet.
While each member of the panel shared their own statistics and experience, I focused on sharing the benefits I obtained from yoga – both while healing and now as an instructor.
