Research shows that yoga is better at reducing depression, anxiety and fatigue compared to counselling*

A diagnosis of cancer and the enduring treatment and recovery period  can be an incredibly frightening experience.  The emotional trauma and associated fear of cancer coming back may be triggered in survivors years after the initial diagnosis.  Yoga is so much more than an energising strength and flexibility practice.  Yoga has been shown to reduce the physical and emotional side effects of cancer and its treatments, helping to decrease feelings of depression and anxiety, fatigue and sleep disturbances and improve overall quality of life.
