When Julie Shaw was diagnosed with breast cancer, she turned to what she knew best to navigate months of treatment-her decades-long yoga practice. In this candid memoir/handbook, Julie, a certified yoga therapist, shares stories about her experiences during cancer, along with many accessible yoga practices to address the myriad symptoms that came with it. The practices are intended to be adaptable, providing for any combination of breathing exercises, yoga postures, mindful awareness, and meditation techniques the reader might need to address their individual needs. Through the lens of yoga, Julie offers insights that can help anyone experiencing cancer see a bigger picture, tap into inner strengths, and recognize that who we truly are is not defined by either external or internal circumstances, whether they are painful or happy. Rather, she asserts with both humor and frankness that our true nature is the calm, peaceful essence at the heart of our being. With a foreword by master yoga teacher, Gary Kraftsow, this book aims to offer tools to those who are experiencing cancer and would like some gentle help along the way.
In 1988, Julie Shaw had back pain from her long commute to work as a corporate trainer. She looked up "yoga" in the yellow pages and stepped into a lifelong practice. After 15 years as a student, she agreed to teach a couple of friends what she knew about yoga. Ten years later, she became a certified yoga therapist, using the tools of yoga to help people stay healthy and manage the symptoms that come with health conditions. She has worked in hospital settings, physician practices, yoga studios, community settings, and in private with individuals. She is a certified Viniyoga Therapist AVI® and has a Master's Degree in Adult Education from Rutgers University. In addition to practicing yoga, Julie loves hiking, gardening, twirling the baton, reading, and correcting other people's grammar, which she is working on overcoming, especially after writing this book and realizing she may not have all the right answers after all.
