The Sheri & Les Biller Patient and Family Resource Center will soon offer restorative, gentle yoga to patients and caregivers.

Led by City of Hope pediatric oncologist Lisa Mueller, M.D., the classes will guide participants through various hatha yoga postures, help them develop a daily home yoga practice and teach relaxation techniques including guided meditation and deep breathing.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own yoga mats, although yoga mats also will be available for purchase at the beginning of the class.

The classes begin April 27. Classes are offered every Monday from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Biller Patient and Family Resource Center activity room. Advanced registration is required, as space is limited.

To register, call 626-256-4673, ext. 32273 (3CARE).
