The class is just one of a range of free, weekly activity groups and classes which are on offer at Liverpool Sunflowers to help improve both the physical health and emotional wellbeing of those affected by a cancer diagnosis, including cancers patients, survivors, carers or relatives.

Joan Elmer, Chief Executive of Liverpool Sunflowers explains,

“At Liverpool Sunflowers we offer a number of different weekly activity groups that are free to access for those living with a cancer diagnosis, their partners, family members, friends and supporters.

“We find that taking part in regular, gentle physical activity such as a yoga class can be really beneficial for those currently undergoing cancer treatment or in various stages of recovery, as it strengthens the body, encourages relaxation, and promotes a positive state of mind – all of which are vitally important in the fight against cancer.”

Other free activity groups are on offer at Liverpool Sunflowers Centre include and can be found on their website.
