GREENE – A yoga studio called Universal Prana is offering free yoga sessions for cancer patients, survivors, and their caregivers as a way to give back to its community and promote personal well being.

According to Studio Owner and Yoga Teacher Dawn Hahn, mats and props will be provided at the studio and drop-in’s are welcome, and yoga instructor Grace Solano opted to work without fees for these special classes.

The classes will be held from noon to 1 p.m. every Sunday from March 15 to November 29 at the Universal Prana Studios at 35 Genesee Street in Greene.

Hahn said these sessions, called Yoga4Cancer classes, use gentle - restorative postures, meditation and breath work to support the mind, body, and spirit during and after cancer treatment.

She said Solano is a yoga teacher with additional certification in Yoga4Cancer (y4c) and Reiki II.

“With a background in nursing, her passion for helping others has shaped her love of using yoga and reiki as healing modalities to balance the mind, body, and spirit,” said Hahn.
