If you’ve ever felt uncertain or hesitant when a student tells you they’ve had a cancer diagnosis, you’re not alone. I hear from many yoga teachers who want to support their student but aren’t sure what’s safe, what’s not, or how to adapt their teaching with confidence.

In the first of my Ethics & Boundaries Series of Masterclasses on supporting people with cancer, I am addressing the most common question I am asked – is it safe for me to teach this person? This is a more complex question than many think and there is no quick and easy answer.
