Small groups • Online yoga classes wherever you are • In-person yoga classes in St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK
If you’ve lived through breast cancer and feel like…
- Treatment has ended, yet you still feel unsettled
- You’re functioning, but not fully at ease
- Your sleep is disrupted
- Your body feels unfamiliar
- There’s pressure to be grateful and move on
You are not failing.
Nothing is ‘wrong’ with you. Our nervous systems often don’t recognise that the danger has passed; they need a bit more time to recover.
The Reclamation Space gently supports your nervous system as it begins to move out of survival mode, helping you reconnect with your body, find moments of peace, and slowly feel at home in yourself again.
Recovery begins when the body feels safe again
Hi I’m Helen, a breast cancer survivor and trauma-aware yoga teacher.
When my treatment ended, I didn’t fully recognise myself, physically or emotionally. There was an unspoken expectation to move forward, but I needed a space to rebuild trust in my body and confidence in who I was becoming.
Yoga gave me that space. On the mat, something softened and, for the first time in over a year, my body felt safe.
Through volunteering with Breast Cancer Now, I saw how many women live in that in-between place after treatment, carrying the aftermath of trauma.
I created The Reclamation Space for these women. Here we practice gentle yoga that regulates the nervous system and slowly rebuilds trust. In this space, you are not alone.
How gentle yoga supports breast cancer recovery
Science-backed
Research shows that gentle, adapted yoga can reduce fatigue, anxiety, low mood and sleep disruption, helping many women experience greater calm and improved wellbeing during recovery.
Gentle, accessible movement
This isn't about becoming fitter or more flexible. It's about reconnecting with your body through gentle movement, at a pace that feels right for you.
Your Pace, your way
Recovery isn't linear. Every class is an invitation to listen to your body, honour where you are today and rebuild confidence one step at a time.
Created for breast cancer recovery
