"Though yoga originated as a way to meditate, to foster clear thinking and decision-making, the physical benefits yoga can bring are the ones emphasized more here in the West. Yoga does make positive changes to the body: increasing flexibility, improving balance, increasing your strength and the general tone of the body. But yoga can be so much more. Yoga’s value and impact on the mind and spirit should not be discounted. That’s especially true for cancer survivors."
"Your body came through the cancer battle; let yoga give you the tools to bring your mind and spirit to victory too."
Grab your mat and join in the national celebration of yoga this month!

Hello LotsToLiveFor,
I couldn't agree more. Exercise has been very beneficial in my cancer recovery.
