The Cancer Dancer

<p>Sarrah Strimel Bentley has been singing and dancing since she was three years old. “I would spend hours putting on one-woman shows,” she recalls. “I think we all knew pretty early on what I was destined to do.” Sarrah went on to appear in <em>The Producers, Young Frankenstein, </em>and other Broadway shows. Now a yoga instructor, Sarrah faced the greatest challenge of her life this past year—an aggressive breast cancer that called for an equally aggressive treatment regiment. On <em>Road to Resilience</em>, Sarrah talks about harnessing her experience as a yogi and performer to weather the storm, including by “joy-mining” and staying connected to her body.</p><p>Sarrah Strimel Bentley is the creator and founder of Damn Good Yoga.</p><p><b>Links:</b></p><ul><li><a href='https://www.mountsinai.org/locations/dubin-breast-center'>Dubin Breast Center of the Tisch Cancer Institute</a></li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/damngoodyoga/?hl=en'>Sarrah’s Instagram</a></li><li><a href='https://l.instagram.com/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.damngoodyoga.com%2F&amp;e=ATP7e4R2wvvKy8QXen7oVZv1a7Vqk5QgccBeZrmzW-2mYbEuabQVYWcunCiGso9euyXe8rM77C_ZSGkp9lJa&amp;s=1'>Damn Good Yoga</a></li></ul><p><a href='https://www.mountsinai.org/about/newsroom/podcasts/road-resilience'>Road to Resilience</a> brings you stories and insights to help you thrive in a challenging world.
