Birdsong Yoga Physio is a place for people with palliative, long term and incurable illnesses to come to explore movement and reconnect with their breath by working with Yvonne, a physiotherapist and yoga teacher.

Yoga and physiotherapy can improve a number of symptoms that people with these illnesses often suffer from. It can help joint pains and stiffness; muscle weakness; loss of balance; anxiety and breathlessness; and some people feel it can lift their mood and balance their emotions.

There is no expectation or need to be able to be 'superflexible' or 'an amazing gymnast' to come to Birdsong Yoga Physio - it is specifically designed for people with palliative illnesses and a variety of physical abilities and 'If you can breathe, you can do yoga’

Would you like to speak with someone who has walked in your shoes? By Your Side offers a short-term opportunity for people living with cancer to speak to someone who has experienced cancer themselves. Our volunteers are ready to listen and share, with a deep personal understanding of the emotional challenges that cancer can bring. After we match you with one of our volunteers, they will be in touch to arrange a meet-up at a time and location convenient for both of you. These meet-ups are led by you and your needs. What would you like to talk about? How is cancer affecting your life? What questions have you been unable to ask? How are you really feeling?After around three meet-ups, we will discuss how to move ahead. Dundee has many useful support services including drop-in information, holistic needs support, long-term befriending and gentle exercise classes. If you would like, your volunteer can support you to access any of these.
