Yoga can't really cure cancer but it can help you survive it. Cancer patients often find themsleves in distracting states of mind that's why many aspects of yoga practice are helpful for patients dealing with the physical and emotional toll of cancer. Practicing yoga and relaxation can help release tension and anxiety. When the tension is released, energy can flow more easily in the body and allow patients to experience a sense of well-being and strength. Yoga can give you strength, hope and a balance of mind, body and spirit, thus making you strong enough to fight and survive cancer.

I agree with Isabelle. Yoga

I agree with Isabelle. Yoga can only help you survive or at least cope up with cancer...but it does not guarantee that it can cure you.
