Yoga in Action

Finding Strength & Connection Through Yoga

Stefanie was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer that weakens bones and affects the blood, and her world changed overnight. Then came COVID-19, adding another layer of isolation and fear. With a weakened core and an immune system at risk, she felt uncertain about exercising in public.

That’s when a member of her support group introduced her to Yoga in Action—and everything shifted.

Through our free, trauma-informed HEAL: Yoga & Cancer classes, Stefanie found a way to safely rebuild her strength from home. The mindful movements helped her improve her posture, maintain balance, and manage neuropathy caused by her medication. More than that, yoga became a source of emotional support, lifting her mood and keeping her grounded.

💛 “If I miss a week or more, I see a change in my mood as well as a tendency to be sloppy with my posture.”

With compassionate instructors guiding her every step of the way, Stefanie learned modifications that honored her body’s needs. She also found something unexpected—a community of support, even through a screen.

💛 “Yoga in Action has brightened my life physically and emotionally. It has allowed me to connect with strangers in a positive way.”

✨ Yoga has the power to heal, transform, and uplift—but for many, access to its benefits remains out of reach. Yoga in Action is changing that. In 2024 alone, we provided free, therapeutic yoga to over 500 individuals facing significant barriers to wellness. With your support, we can reach even more people across the NH Seacoast and beyond, ensuring that yoga is accessible to all.
