In recent years, the month of October has become bright with the
appearance of pink rib-bons. � ese pink ribbons are reminders of breast cancer in our society. Each year in the U.S., more than 192,000 women are diag-nosed with breast cancer. � at’s the population of a medium-sized city. In the face of such numbers, how can yoga help?
Research shows that yoga may be able to help im-prove physical functioning, reduce fatigue and stress, improve sleep and improve overall quality of life. � is can be especially true for women recovering from surgery or undergoing che-motherapy. In addition to the physical concerns, yoga can address the emotional aspects associated with breast cancer.
If we see breast cancer
from the perspective of energy, we can say that congested energy from stress and negative emo-tions can block energy � ow in the heart chakra. Even-tually, this blockage a� ects the body physically and can create conditions more favorable for the disease of breast cancer.
� e main focus of Dahn Yoga known as Energy Yoga (“Dahn” means vital life energy) is to help release stressful energy � rst from your chest and then from your whole body through various exercises such as opening chest ex-ercises and breathing, and change emotional mode to happiness by smiling or laughing.
Dahn Yoga can help with
not only preventing the disease but also mitigating symptoms of the disease
and side e� ects of treat-ment by increasing your vital energy.
We still don’t know exactly why one woman develops breast cancer and another doesn’t. What is known is that some risk
factors like family his-tory, personal history, and physical inactivity, increase one woman’s likelihood of developing the disease.
Yoga can be a holistic approach to promoting a healthier lifestyle, which
can in turn reduce these risk factors.
