Yoga
I just started taking yoga about 6 months ago. I started around the time I began chemo. Just wanted to mention how extremely beneficial it is, esp while undergoing chemo! It has also been very constructive for body after my mastectomy/reconstruction which was done 11/06.
The stretching, twisting, getting the toxins released from various parts of the body, the concentration on releasing thoughts out of my mind and giving my mind a well-needed break, are just some of the benefits I have received.
I have always been an active person physically, but yoga provides something that was lacking previously.
Highly recommended.
