Posted by Palila Jones at 5:59 AM
Yoga is a wonderful way to get back to a healthy life after a fight with cancer. It was acted as a great post-cancer revitalizing tool. This is testified in this article.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with lungs cancer. That was possibly the hardest time of my life .The pain and weakness had completely taken over me. I had lost all hope over life. The pain increased once my chemotherapy started. I was completely shattered with my life. At this point my doctor advised to take yoga classes. This has undoubtedly been the most wonderful inclusion in my life after those tough times.
I joined a yoga class where I was taught various yoga postures and yoga exercises which been really very helpful. My trainer always tells me that it was important that patient’s like me should also practice these yoga poses under some supervision. It was brought back a lot of peace into my life and has injected a lot of strength and patience into my life.

Among the yoga exercises which are most important and effective for me have been Pranayama and the medication techniques. This has helped to get rid of the stress and has helped me to look at my illness in an all new way. It has helped me to realize the balance between the body and mind. It is often said that yoga is a great healer; I am a true example of this. It was re-injected energy again into my body with a calming effect. With the deep breathing techniques the negative emotion are thrown out and leaves my body and soul with a positive frame.

Yoga exercises have re-imparted strength and stamina into my body. This has been my biggest help during this time of trauma. These yoga postures have helped me enormously to fight against the agony and pain of cancer. The exercise helps to reflex the muscles which as so comforting after my long stint in the hospital.

I will be ever grateful to yoga exercise and yoga posture for helping through the tough times. I still remember my myself, even two months ago when I was totally devastated and done with life but then it was yoga which rejuvenated me and inspired me for a better life. If today I can laugh freely after such tough times it only because of yoga.
