Which Yoga Postures are Beneficial for Cancer Patients?
While the choice of yoga postures can vary based on individual needs and treatment stages, several poses are generally beneficial:
1. Child's Pose (Balasana): A restorative pose that stretches the back and promotes relaxation. 2. Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana/Bitilasana): Helps in improving spinal flexibility and relieving tension. 3. Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani): A restorative pose that reduces swelling in the legs and promotes relaxation. 4. Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana): Enhances flexibility in the spine and hamstrings while calming the mind. 5. Corpse Pose (Savasana): A final relaxation pose that helps in stress reduction and mental clarity.
