Yoga is a great help for stress, and helps you to heal from many illnesses, even cancer.
Some oncologists are now recommended yoga classes to their patients.
“Yoga: Help in healing” reports:
“Yoga means union, it’s about welcoming that body back, honoring that body, loving that body,” she said. “Yoga therapy helps the whole person heal.”
Cancer and the fear of its return can lead to anxiety, so certain poses and breathing exercises are emphasized to calm the mind and body, Kessell said. Another component of yoga, meditation, allows people time to reconnect with themselves and reflect. Visualization techniques focus on imagining healing energy in and around the body. Some classes include a support group, with time set aside for checking in and talking.
Yoga gently reminds you to stay in the moment, and to live your life. For cancer survivors, yoga can help them to come to terms with their illness and find joy in their life.
