Yoga for Cancer

Wonderful free online yoga videos for people with cancer

A study from the Journal of Pain & Symptom Management found that Jim and Kimberly Carson’s Yoga of Awareness program helped women with metastatic breast cancer manage pain and other symptoms.

How does one survive breast cancer, plus the illness of one child and the death of another? For Bonnie Randall the answer is yoga.

Imagine a cancer treatment program that focuses as much on restoring the individual as it does on destroying the disease, a program that brings together the most effective treatments from both modern and ancient medicine. Imagine, if you can, a cancer treatment program, which includes a rejuvenating routine of yoga for cancer patients, helping cancer sufferers—exhausted from radiation treatments—to sink into a deep, meditative peace. Imagine a healing environment with the soft ambiance of aromatherapy and Feng Shui, a stark contrast to the ordinarily frosty hospital environment.

Battling cancer is an enormous drain on all your resources—physically, emotionally, and mentally. All energy pours into enduring the discomfort of both the disease and the treatment process, and into coping with fears of the future. Can yoga make a difference in enhancing healing for cancer patients and cancer survivors?
