Meet Tina Walter, C-IAYT, Oncology Yoga Therapist
Tina Walter, C-IAYT, is a Mind-Body Intervention Specialist at the Osher Center for Integrative Health at UC, where she provides evidence-based yoga therapy interventions to patients and their caregivers throughout their cancer journey from prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and end of life.
For over a decade, Tina has designed and provided protocols for patients in the clinical areas of inpatient and outpatient oncology at local hospitals to manage the adverse effects of treatment and improve clinical outcomes. She teaches meditation and both private and group yoga classes for cancer at UC Health and the Cancer Support Community.
Tina is certified by The International Association of Yoga Therapists and has advanced training in yoga for cancer and chronic illness. She is past Chair of the Yoga SIG for the Society for Integrative Oncology and is a contributing author of a book on yoga therapy for cancer. She has co-authored published articles including a manuscript on the efficacy of yoga therapy during cancer treatment and has presented her research on a similar topic at local and national conferences. At present, Tina is studying to become a board-certified health coach, adding another dimension to her yoga therapy credentials.
A mother of five children, Tina resides in Cincinnati with her husband, Bob. In her free time, she enjoys gardening, cooking, walking in nature, and taking care of their new grandbaby.
