According to an article written by Marcia Frellick, there is a moderate amount of people that have experienced breast cancer relate that fatigue and pain may be part of the long -term physical effects. This is where Yoga steps in because we already know that lack of physical activity can lead to more serious problems down the road. Yoga has been proven to help impact that fatigue and mood. It may even affect inflammation after breast cancer treatment. It has been proven that the more you practice yoga, the better the results. What I have found with yoga is that it can be tailored to fit individual needs. The fluidity of the movements and meditation aspect is truly beneficial. So having said that, I don't feel quilty when I don't want to run a marathon, put some type of exercise clothes on and jump around. I am happy to relax, let go, and enjoy what Yoga has to offer. If you have not tried it, I highly recommend you take a class or two and give it the old college try. What have you got to lose? As with any exercise program I also suggest you talk to your doctor to determine what is best for you but also know that your yoga instructor can help to modify the different poses to match your abilities.
