Yoga
- What is Yoga?
Yoga cultivates health and wellbeing (physical, emotional, mental and social) through the regular practice of a range of many different techniques, including postures and movement, breath awareness and breathing exercises, relaxation and concentration, self-inquiry and meditation.
A yoga class typically includes:
- An introduction, possibly including some breathing exercises and/or relaxation
- A Physical warm up
- Yoga postures, movements and stretches
- Relaxation and/or meditation
- Benefits for cancer patients and carers
Yoga can help improve flexibility, strength, muscle tone, and balance; all of which may be compromised when you undergo surgery or prolonged bed rest due to cancer treatments. Yoga can help alleviate symptoms that may be experienced during and after cancer treatment such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, muscle tension, nausea, poor motor control, pain, shortness of breath and stress.
