mindfulness in cancer recovery retreat

Early bird registration is open!

Ginny Stasinski (my friend, colleague, founder of Live Brilliant, and all around awesome human) and I are thrilled to announce the opening of registration for our Mindfulness in Cancer Recovery Retreat 2024 in beautiful Puerto Vallarta. All cancer survivors are welcome (this one is not limited to breast cancer)!

Join us and a group of like-minded cancer thrivers to learn how mindfulness techniques can improve our daily experience, to begin to develop your own personal mindfulness practice, to relax, recharge, and enjoy this beautiful tropical paradise and the love and support of new friends.

This retreat is extra special because you will be led by TWO facilitators and benefit from our combined experience as cancer survivors, yoga teachers, wellness experts, and medical professionals! Ginny holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and a Master’s degree of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Integrative Wellness, and she is a certified health and wellness coach as well as a certified yoga teacher. Leona holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology, a Doctor of Medicine (MD), and former board certifications in both internal medicine and medical oncology. She is also a certified yoga teacher. And both are certified facilitators of the Mindfulness Based Cancer Recovery program. We are a unique, experienced, and fun team and we can’t wait to share our insights with you!

Testimonials

“I just purchased a year long subscription to “Yoga With Leona” at a great price point! These videos are great. I’m a teacher so I’m critiquing my friend here Leona Belle explains them step by step, uses modifications, demonstrates each move, gives you time to catch your breath and pause. Whether you are beginning yoga, getting back to yoga (I’m in that club) or are advanced, there are videos for you. Just thought I’d share something productive to do during the pandemic and as a lifestyle change. Namaste! ”

Thank you for this testimonial from two-time breast cancer survivor, DIEP flap patient, and Founder of DiepCFoundation.org, Terri Coutee. We are pleased you have added us to your resource page.

“I just signed up for my membership and love it! I feel like you were speaking directly to me in the videos. I’m so excited to explore them all and develop my own practice tailored to my needs as a result of BC. Thank you for putting this valuable resource out to all of us!! Namaste to you, Leona Belle!“

Thank you Martha, for this lovely testimonial! We are thrilled to have you!

“I highly recommend YogawithLeona. The yoga videos here are exceptional, multiple levels, from stretching to restorative and some more advanced. Many to choose from. Leona, I appreciate your knowledge of the body and your detailed instruction, specifically to some of the challenges we have with our bodies after our surgeries. Plus you are just a badass!”

Thank you so much for this testimonial, from our badass three-time breast cancer survivor member and friend, Lori!

“I loved the lymphedema tutorial and stretches! Everything you said was absolutely true, and helpful. The stretches were amazing. My lymphedema arm felt so much better afterwards. Am hoping it will help with reduction in swelling as well. I REALLY loved the visualization suggestion that you gave, imagining the flow. Thank you so much for doing all of the yoga videos, and especially adding in the one on lymphedema”.

Thanks so much to our friend and lymphedema warrior, Sandi, for this lovely testimonial and for your feedback on the lymphedema video. I’m so happy it is helping!
