Fairytale Yoga – Making Headway Program Highlight

Over the years, Making Headway has developed a variety of unique and creative programs to help children who have been diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor.  Fairytale Yoga is a one-of-a-kind program designed specifically for children impacted by chemotherapy. Through this program, our instructor, Annie Hickman is able to bring a special joy to children and their families (as well as the doctors and nurses).  The children love to explore playful movements with their bodies. Children run in circles, dance with silk butterfly wings, play yoga games, and make music with Tibetan singing bowls. Fairytale yoga helps transform an environment that is often filled with fear and uncertainty, into a place of hope and love.  Bringing these types of programs to families impacted by pediatric cancer is a core part of the Making Headway Foundation.
