This interactive session combines movement and mindfulness to support your wellbeing.

Staying active can help with side effects such as fatigue and improve your emotional wellbeing, an important part of life for everyone affected by ovarian cancer. Claire Brett-Pitt (Level 4 Cancer Rehab Exercise Specialist and qualified British Wheel of Yoga Teacher) and Francesca Jaworska (Level 4 Cancer Rehab Exercise Specialist and Cancer Nurse Specialist) have experience in leading sessions for people with cancer, so are able to guide you safely through this easy-to-follow practical session. Get support on how to get back into gentle movement and try some cardiovascular and strength exercises. You can do it seated or standing – whatever feels right for you.

For many people, ovarian cancer brings uncertainty that can be hard to manage. Mindfulness can improve wellbeing by helping us to focus on the present moment.
