The Power of Yoga for Cancer Recovery: Find Your Inner Yogi!

Besides Yoga being a FABULOUS form of physical fitness, it is equally an integral part of our inner ecosystem for its mental, emotional therapeutic powers. It really is the definition of a mind body connection.

We live in a world where its go... go... go... faster... harder... push... push...
Psychologically: we can get frustrated, irritable, brain fog, dare I say bitchy... feeling we are never productive enough

Physiologically: we don't breathe properly, therefore we are not oxygenating our body properly, we produce stress hormones such as cortisol, we have been known to consume the wrong foods in such a state...(Yoga for Cancer Recovery)

The ultimate power of Yoga can be seen in a true Yogi - Now I say "true" because like anything else there are plenty of wannabe yogis: they might know the moves, but the true spirit, physicality, art & magic of the yoga has not been integrated into their being, therefore, sorry, they cannot communicate & share the true power of yoga with others.

I insist we all emit an aura. People feel a perception of us being around us. Our eyes, smile, posture, body language, scent, the way we carry ourselves... all contribute to our personal aura. There is a peacefulness, calm, friendly & welcoming positively contagious aura emanating from a yogi. A sense that is so relaxing, cathartic... makes you want to just stop and breathe, like basking in that ray of sunshine smiling through the window, you know the one the cat usually usurps! Makes our qi gush, not just flow. (Yoga for Cancer Recovery)

Unfortunately there is a paradigm of fitness that it is all about the hard rocking and bopping until you drop - and sure I do find that a fun aspect of fitness - I love a filthy, sweaty workout. Yes, it serves an important purpose. We do have many studies that show us that relentless gruelling exercise can create damaging oxidative stress, and yes shorten lifespan. The physical flexibility & strength of yoga are matched by the mental flexibility and strength of yoga, which is equally critical to our health and wellness.

Everybody talks about stress, which is rooted in an upset in our inner ecosystem, interruptions and blockages in our flow of qi, life's energy. The ancient arts of fitness such as yoga and tai chi provide that cleansing calm to oxygenate & restore to a stronger self.(Yoga for Cancer Recovery)

As I personally work with people on exercise for disease recovery, I know besides our knowledge of disease, exercise science, knowing the appropriate exercise protocol..of equal importance is our aura that we transmit to others. So often I believe this is even more powerful, as it allows the person to envelop the deep healing potential of the exercise. I personally use smiles and humor - By smiling together we open the windows to our souls to truly allow healing on every level. The fitness industry again unfortunately, because it sells TV shows, has pushed a boot camp, brow beating, push till you cry ( or throw up) view of exercise. What people don't see is how NOT sustainable that is, other than for another season of absurdity. If we model fitness with humor, love, peace, creating an inner symphony, than we can create a lasting, sustainable passion for health & fitness.

That peaceful calm, gentle smiles, inner strength that exudes from a yogi creates a beautiful habitat for healing. Especially working with those recovering from cancer, a yogi trained with the science of exercise for cancer recovery can truly provide the mental & physical strength, stamina and calm, allowing cancer treatment to be maximized. If you need to breathe, think better, feel better, be better... embrace the power of yoga.(Yoga for Cancer Recovery)
