Yoga Therapy across the Cancer Care Continuum

Yoga Therapy across the Cancer Care Continuum by Leigh Leibel and Anne Pitman is a concise, practical guide that brings the healing potential of yoga into every phase of cancer care. Combining clinical insight with compassionate practice, this book grabs attention from clinicians and survivors alike who seek safe, effective movement-based support.

Inside, clear, evidence-informed strategies demonstrate how yoga can address common cancer-related concerns — fatigue, pain, lymphedema risk, anxiety, and sleep disruption — and how practices should be adapted during diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery recovery, survivorship, and palliative care. With a focus on safety, assessment, and individualized sequencing, the authors translate research into usable protocols for real-world settings.

This resource deepens understanding with case examples, practical cues, and modifications that respect surgical sites, treatment side effects, and energy limitations. Whether you’re a yoga therapist, oncology nurse, physiotherapist, integrative clinician, or a patient navigating recovery, you’ll find actionable tools to improve quality of life and restore function.

Written for use in hospitals, outpatient clinics, community programs, and private practice, the book is globally relevant and friendly to practitioners across North America, Europe, Australia, and beyond. It emphasizes collaboration between medical teams and movement professionals to create safe, person-centered plans across the cancer care continuum.

For those committed to compassionate, evidence-based rehabilitation and supportive oncology, this book is an essential reference and practical companion.
