Numerous scientific studies have shown the benefits of yoga as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for cancer. While yoga will not cure cancer, patients who practice yoga report positive effects on numerous symptoms associated with both the disease itself and its traditional treatment side effects, such as pain, fatigue, sleep disruption, stress, and depression.
In the spring of 2011, I completed a yoga for cancer training with Yoga of Awareness at Duke University Medical Center’s Integrative Medicine Program. The techniques I learned at this world class institution are evidence-based, with the most up-to-the-minute medical research backing up the methodology.
In these sessions, we will focus on gentle postures, pranayama exercises, and meditation techniques designed help you manage your specific symptoms and improve general quality of life. Though this is a safe, gentle practice appropriate for most patients, a doctor’s release is required to participate. Family members and loved ones are welcome to join.
