If this is a general query then the answer is below. On the contrary,If a loved one is suffering from this disease, I'm sorry to hear, and my prayers are with you and your loved ones.In simplest terms Cancer is a condition where cells divide and grow exponentially. These cells then tend to harm the body from inside. The cancer found as recently as 50-100 years ago were genetic conditions; however, off late, the kind of cancer that humankind faces is emerging more and more from lifestyle and eating abnormalities. The intake of sugar has increased over the years and research suggests that it is this sugar that these cells feed on the most. Hence, lifestyle changes would be the most immediate steps post-chemo (As adviced by the doctor). Can Yoga prevent cancer? There is no scientific study that proves that it does but Yoga can help manage the symptoms of cancer and help generate a ratio of mental calm. A paper produced by the National Center for Biotechnology Information provides further details for interested candidates. I can share if requiredHope this helps. read less

There is no scientific evidence to prove that yoga can cure or prevent any type of cancer. But some studies suggest that it might help people with cancer cope with symptoms and side effects. In 2017 a Cochrane review looked at whether yoga could improve quality of life in people.

Hi. I am 23 years old female. It's been a year since I started performing this new asana routine but I still feel quite tired after performing it. I start with warm up exercises of the joints for 10 minutes(like rotating my feet,wrists,shoulders and neck. Also some butterfly.) This is followed by Tadasana 1minute, Trikonasana on both sides 1 minute, suryanamaskar 2 times( where I hold each pose for 10 seconds), ushtrasana 1 minute, janushirshasana with both legs 1 minute, pashchimotasan 1 minute, upvistha konasana, halasana 2 minutes, sarvangasana twice for 2 minutes and finally shavasana for 5 minutes. Is this too much?
dear anchal only do rotation and surya namaskar for 10 times and than do shavasa for 10 to 15 acc to your body carving for rest and you can do yog nidra also it takes 20 minutes it will surely help you .
