A diagnosis of cancer,  its treatment and enduring side effects is a life-changing experience which now affects nearly 1 in 2 Australians before the age of 85.   For cancer survivors, the emotional trauma and associated fear of cancer coming back may be triggered for years after their initial diagnosis.  Yoga however,  has been shown to reduce the physical and emotional impacts of cancer by decreasing feelings of depression and anxiety, reducing fatigue and sleep disturbances and improving overall quality of life*.
