We know protection is better than cure we protect our body by doing yoga
yoga traditionally is believed to have beneficial effects on physical
and psychological health. Only recently has it been subjected to empirical studies. Bower,
Woolery, Sternlieb, and Garet (2005) extensively reviewed yoga
research, including published papers
and abstracts of conference presentations, that was conducted
with patients with cancer and survivors. They reviewed studies
of yoga used among patients who did not have cancer, evaluating
the symptoms that commonly occur in patients with cancer, such
as insomnia, fatigue, depression, and pain. Bower et al. concluded
that the study results have provided preliminary support for
the efficacy of yoga interventions among patients with cancer.
Positive effects were reported in a variety of outcomes, including
sleep quality, mood, stress, cancer-related distress, cancer-related
symptoms, and overall quality of life, as well as functional and
physiologic measures. As evidence for yoga interventions in
cancer care accumulates, yoga is being incorporated into cancer
programs and national symptom management guidelines.
Exercise is recommended as an evidence-based intervention
for fatigue related to cancer in the Oncology Nursing Society’s
published guidelines (Mitchell, Beck, Hood, Moore, & Tanner,
2007). The recommendation was based on strong evidence
from rigorously designed studies, including two that found that
yoga-like positioning and relaxation breathing significantly
reduced fatigue levels (Decker, Cline-Elsen, & Gallagher, 1992;
Kim & Kim, 2005). Few randomized, controlled trials of yoga
in patients with cancer have been published. However, in one
study, 39 patients with lymphoma who were undergoing treatment
or had finished treatment within the past 12 months were
assigned to a Tibetan yoga group or a wait-list control group
(Cohen, Warneke, Fouladi, Rodriguez, & Chaoul-Reich, 2004).
Tibetan yoga focuses on meditative techniques, emphasizing
controlled breathing, visualization, mindfulness techniques,
and gentle, simple movements. Fifty-eight percent of the
participants attended at least five of seven weekly yoga sessions,
which combined yoga postures with specific breathing
patterns. Daily home practice was encouraged with written
materials and audiotapes. Patients in the yoga group reported
significantly lower sleep disturbance during follow-up compared
with patients in the wait-list control group. No significant
differences were found between the groups in terms of anxiety,
depression, or fatigue. In another study of 38 cancer survivors,
participants were randomly assigned to an intervention (yoga)
or wait-list control group (Culos-Reed, Carlson, Daroux, &
Hately-Aldous, 2004). Most of the participants were female,
had a breast cancer diagnosis, and, on average, were 51 years
old, 56 months after diagnosis, and not currently receiving
therapy. The yoga group participated in 75-minute weekly
classes for seven weeks that were led by an experienced,
certified yoga instructor. Classes consisted of modified yoga
postures with gentle stretching and strengthening, relaxation,
and a focus on breathing. Significant differences between the
yoga and control groups after the intervention were seen in
both psychosocial measurements (mood, quality of life, and
stress) and physical measurements (resting heart rate and
cardiovascular endurance). Yoga participants demonstrated
significant improvements on a number of physical and psychosocial
variables after the intervention.
