More Health Info & Answers

Q: Is yoga good exercise for women with breast cancer?

A: A study out this year found that yoga lends a sense of invigoration and acceptance to people with the disease. What’s more, practicing yoga for longer periods also helped decrease pain and fatigue and produced feelings of relaxation the day after a yoga session.

Thirteen women with breast cancer took part in the eight-week study using the Yoga Awareness Program—a set of yoga postures, regulated breathing exercises, guided meditations, informational sessions, and group discussions designed specifically for women with metastatic breast cancer. The women met for two-hour group yoga sessions each week and were given supportive materials to practice yoga at home.
