Exclusive Videos Available for Free on Cancer Wellness TV

December 9, 2016

Welcome back mind-body students!

This week's blog is a reminder to all of our subscribers, especially the newer subscribers, about the other website that you can find my free content on: Cancer Wellness TV.

I helped to co-found Cancer Wellness TV as a one-stop shop for all cancer complementary treatments and lifestyle choices for patients and survivors. This includes mind-body exercises and training, nutritional information and recipes, and support therapies like writing therapy and support groups. Best of all, it is all free. Cancer Wellness TV is funded entirely by volunteer subscriptions and contributions.

If you or someone you know has been touched by cancer, please share this one-of-a-kind resource with them. Our goal is to get these resources into the hands of every patient and every survivor.

But if you are simply a mind-body student looking for more tai chi and qi gong instruction, signing up on Cancer Wellness TV is still valuable! There are many videos I have made exclusively for Cancer Wellness TV, including:

If you want to get access to these videos, all you have to do is make a quick account on Cancer Wellness TV. The free account grants you access to everything on the entire website, no exceptions.

Happy Stretching!

Easy Yoga Series on Cancer Wellness TV

January 29, 2016

Hello mind-body students! I have exciting news about some great content you can get on Cancer Wellness TV.

My amazing Dana-Farber colleague (and cancer survivor herself), Anne Marie Turo, has released a new video on Cancer Wellness TV to kick off her "Easy Yoga" series, which is focused on helping cancer patients, or anyone who is suffering from serious illness or trauma and have low mobility and energy, to recuperate as fast as possible.

This first piece, the Bed Yoga routine, is designed to increase a person's levels of strength, flexibility, and energy, from the comfort of their bed. And of course, I wouldn't say this exercise is complete until you incorporate deep breathing and empty-full moon, which Anne Marie mentions right at the beginning. She also ends the video with a helpful guide to getting out of bed when you have very low strength and energy.

Please continue to support Cancer Wellness TV, such as by making a free account or giving a donation. We will be producing very high quality, useful content for anyone looking to lead a healthier life, cancer patient, survivor, or otherwise.

Happy Stretching!

Announcing the Launch of Cancer Wellness TV!

September 15, 2015

Hello, mind-body students and subscribers! I have very exciting news to share with all of you today. Cancer Wellness TV (www.cwellness.com) has officially launched!

Cancer Wellness TV is an online video platform with the goal of providing access to videos, articles and additional content about complementary, integrative therapies for everyone affected by cancer. Our programming feature videos on Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, Mediation, Nutrition, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Acupuncture and much, much more! The website is already packed with mind-body exercise videos, cooking tutorials, recipes, expert interviews, and more by various experts in their respective fields. We have around 100 videos to begin with and the goal is to have a few hundred within a year, covering as many symptoms, modalities, nutritional tips, and types of cancer as possible. And there is even more to come. We are committed to having the top content in cancer complementary therapies. And best of all, our website is 100% free!

Cancer Wellness TV is the brainchild of my friend (and student) Jeff Sirlin, a 2-time cancer survivor who has dedicated his time to making this kind of anti-cancer lifestyle accessible for everyone.
