Why Breast Care?
- Breast health is important in overall body wellness.
- Breast tissues have very specific needs that are often overlooked or neglected in daily life.
- The incidence of breast cancer and benign breast conditions is increasing.
- We need to respect and care for our breasts, just as we would any other part of our body.
- Breasts are part of a woman’s body that should be honoured. Learning more about our breasts is a way to start this process.
Topics to be discussed:
- Anatomy of the breast
- A detailed exploration of the lymphatic system and it’s importance to our breasts
- Muscles that play a part in our breast health
- Breast conditions and breast changes through a women’s life
- Self-breast massage
- Stretching/exercise segment specific for opening your chest and the muscles involved with your breast health
- Self-care techniques to encourage the health of your breasts!
Please bring a yoga/exercise mat for the stretching segment of the workshop, wearing comfortable clothes will allow you more freedom to move during this segment of the course.
