Soul Yoga and Wellness Studio in Olde Town Conyers isn’t your ordinary yoga studio. Its owner, Lisa Poole, is on a mission to bring yoga, meditation, and wellness services to those who need it most. As a cancer survivor herself, Lisa has spent the last 10 years finding ways to give back and support others who are fighting the same fight she faced 10 years ago.

Now, in conjunction with The Cancer Support Community through Northside Hospital, Lisa has created Cancer Care Restorative Yoga for local cancer patients, survivors, and their caregivers.

“It’s so important for people who are facing the fight of their lives to find moments of stillness and peace within that fight to restore and renew their spirit. This is a free class open to anyone affected by cancer,” said Lisa. “Cancer patients, survivors and their caregivers from this area are invited to attend this weekly class at no charge to them. Let me say this again, it’s free.”

Ms. Poole went on to say, “I am thrilled to open up my studio for this amazing class. I’ve been there – I know the fear and anxiety that comes with a cancer diagnosis. I’ve designed this class specifically to help alleviate some of the emotional battles that go along with the physical battles of cancer, not just for the survivor, but the caregiver as well. All the poses are seated, gentle, and completely restorative. In this class, we focus on renewing the mind and spirit while bringing peace to the body through breathing exercises and moving gently with our breath. As with every class at my studio, this class ends with guided imagery and meditation.”

She continued, “Every person who struggles with this fight, and the people who fight alongside them, are an inspiration to me. I want to return some inspiration to them by welcoming them to my studio and offering this free class to them.”

Clearly this woman is on a mission and now she has more resources to help. So if you are interested, the class is local, it’s easy and it’s free! How great is that?
