The Mind-Body Aspects Of Yoga & Breast Cancer
The mind-body aspects of yoga specifically could carry benefits for women undergoing breast cancer treatment, according to a small new study.
The research, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, shows that women undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer who were enrolled in a yoga intervention (that included meditation, relaxation and breathing techniques) experienced improved stress hormone regulation, decreased fatigue and improved general health.
“Combining mind and body practices that are part of yoga clearly have tremendous potential to help patients manage the psychosocial and physical difficulties associated with treatment and life after cancer, beyond the benefits of simple stretching,” study researcher Lorenzo Cohen, Ph.D., director of the Integrative Medicine Program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, said in a statement.
The study included 191 women with breast cancer of varying stages, who were randomly assigned to one of three groups as they underwent their radiation treatment for six weeks. One group did simple stretching, the second group did yoga, and the third group did no yoga or stretching. The yoga and stretching groups did their assigned activity for one hour, three times a week.
The participants self-reported their fatigue and depression levels throughout the intervention, and researchers also collected saliva samples and administered echocardiogram tests at the beginning of the study, at the end of the radiation treatment, and then one, three and six months after the radiation treatment had ended.
They found that overall, the participants who were assigned to the yoga group experienced the greatest gains in all measurements of health. Specifically, the yoga group had the greatest decreases in cortisol levels throughout the day. And after radiation treatment, the yoga and stretching groups experienced decreases in fatigue, compared with the control group. Months after the radiation treatment, the yoga group self-reported higher general health, and were also more likely than the other two groups to say that they found some kind of meaning of life from their cancer experience.
Previous research has indicated that yoga could decrease inflammation and fatigue among breast cancer survivors. One study showing this effect, published in the same journal as the new study, posited that the beneficial effects could come from yoga’s ability to improve sleep.
Santa Barbara Healing Sanctuary
“We live in exciting and interesting times. Nowhere is this more true than in the fields of medicine and healing. Recent discoveries in neuroscience validate healing traditions that are thousands of years old, and show that the mind/body connection is indeed very real. They point to new directions in the ways we think of and treat disease, and promote wellness.
The ground-breaking work being done in this area has led a group of highly experienced clinicians, and other professionals to establish the Santa Barbara Healing Sanctuary program, a significant resource for those who wish to maintain optimal health. The Sanctuary s unique program is multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary. The SB Healing Sanctuary convenes for 10 days per session at a stunning mountain retreat in Santa Barbara overlooking the Pacific. Each of these sessions is coordinated for the participants by a team of professionals. Each participant receives a personalized treatment plan, which integrates cutting-edge medical support with proven therapies encompassing nutrition and cooking, meditation,creative arts, reflective writing, therapeutic yoga, acupuncture, aquatic therapy, and more.
What makes the Santa Barbara Healing Sanctuary program unique, distinguishing it from other integrative healing programs, is its emphasis on the healing potential of dreams. Dreams give individuals access to a form of intelligence originating deep inside the brainstem, where signals travel up to the cortex and down through the neuro-endocrine system to affect the body at a micro-cellular level. This activity, as natural and innate as the human heartbeat, has extraordinary therapeutic potential and is widely thought to trigger thebody’s own self-healing response. The Santa Barbara Healing Sanctuary has been designed to maximize these effects.

Isha Yoga Center – Tamil Nadu, India
The Isha Yoga Center, founded under the aegis of Isha Foundation, is located on 150 acres of lush land at the foothills of the Velliangiri Mountains. Surrounded by thick forests, it is a part of the Nilgiri Biosphere, a reserve forest with abundant wildlife. Created as a powerful sthana (a center for inner growth), this popular destination attracts people from all parts of the world and is unique in its offering of all the four major paths of yoga – gnana(knowledge), karma (action), kriya (energy), and bhakthi (devotion). Please see the beautiful video of the center:
The following review is by Doris La Frenais:
For picky eaters there’s nothing better than a nice buffet: there’s bound to be something you can relish. And so for yoga fans, there’s no place like Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, India, where you can find a spiritual platter with the whole gamut of what yoga has to offer.
What we generally know as yoga are physical postures, called asanas. But the mystical land of India has a whole world of yoga that you cannot imagine. And Isha Yoga Center is an ideal place to get a taste of it. What’s unique about this ashram is that you get to see and practice the four kinds of yoga which lead you to your ultimate realization: gnana yoga – the yoga of intelligence, bhakti yoga – the yoga of devotion, kriya yoga – the yoga of transforming your energy, and karma yoga – the yoga of selfless action.
Founded two decades ago by the profound yogi and mystic Sadhguru, the Isha Yoga Center is located at the foothills of the revered Velliangiri Mountains, in the vicinity of a lush rainforest. It enjoys a pleasant tropical climate year-round. Many ancient sages and seers have walked the Velliangiris, and their vibrant energies can still be felt there today. The peaks form a fantastic backdrop to the ashram.
SADHGURU & ISHA FOUNDATION
The mind and inspiration behind the Center is Sadhguru. Through his inner mastery over the yogic sciences, he has devised various yoga programs for realizing one’s ultimate potential. Over 3 million people around the world have benefited from these programs.
Sadhguru is internationally recognized and he is widely sought after by prestigious global forums to address issues as diverse as human rights, business values, and social, environmental and existential issues. He has been a delegate to the United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit, amember of the World Council of Religious and Spiritual Leaders and Alliance for New Humanity, a speaker at TED, a special invitee to the Australian Leadership Retreat, Tallberg Forum, Indian Economic Summit 2005-2008, as well as a regular speaker at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The social, educational and environmental wings of the foundation involve a stunning array of projects and initiatives that have touched the lives of millions.
ASHRAM LIFE

Residents at the ashram take two wholesome vegetarian meals a day (brunch and dinner) in the dining hall. Apart from this, you can fill your stomach at the Peppervine Eatery – fresh fruit, juices, pastries and coffee. If you want to brave Indian spice, check out the MoondramPirai Restaurant just off the road next to the ashram.A common computer/printing and internet facility is available.
YOGA & REJUVENATION

Also, check out the Rejuvenation Center for a variety of therapeutic massages, aura cleansing, Siddha and Ayurveda medicinal treatments to revitalize you!
The best time to come to the Center is in Feb/March. At this time, Sadhguru offers a unique program called “Inner Way” where he initiates you into a powerful and ancient energy process called “ShambhaviMahamudra.” This kriya helps one to align their energies and reach their ultimate potential. The program is rich and festive, with sumptuous dishes, Indian handicrafts, and special cultural and musical performances that showcase India’s finest classical arts. Immediately following ‘Inner Way’ is Mahashivarathri, or the Night of Shiva. The planetary positions on this unique night create a natural upsurge of energy in the human system. So on this night, in the Indian tradition there is a sacred festival where people stay awake all night to make use of the phenomenal spiritual possibilities. A huge celebration with hundreds of thousands of visitors is held at the Isha Yoga Center, with lively musical concerts and vibrant guided meditations by Sadhguru.
CONSECRATED SPACES
The ashram is a throbbing hub of energy as it is full of consecrated spaces and forms. As Sadhguru says, “If you transform mud into food, we call this agriculture. If you make food into flesh and bone, we call this digestion. If you make flesh into mud, we call this cremation. If you can make this flesh, or even a stone, or even an empty space into a divine possibility, that is called consecration.”
The powerhouse of the ashram is the Dhyanalinga, a towering linga (ellipsoidal structure) which is the distilled essence of yogic sciences. It is housed in 250,000 brick dome, an architectural marvel. All the seven chakras are manifest in the Dhyanalingaand sitting in its sphere is like being the presence of a living Master who guides you every step of your spiritual journey. There’s no worship or prayer here – you just have to sit and bask in Dhyanalinga’s reverberating energies.Meditation is effortless as you sink into deeper levels of consciousness.
Before you enter the Dhyanalinga, there are two massive tanks of energized water called Theerthakunds. The Suryakund is for men and the Chandrakund for women. For a token fee, you can put on modest orange robes and take a dip in these cool waters. This straightens out any energy imbalances in your body and rejuvenates the spirit.Near the Dhyanalinga premises is the LingaBhairavi, a fierce yet compassionate form of the Divine Feminine. The Devi (goddess) helps you in fulfilling your deepest desires, and ensures a joyful, prosperous life. Various rituals and offerings can be made to the Devi, that assist in all stages of life: education for children, weddings, and rituals for the deceased.
The AdiyogiAlayam is a spacious, marble-floored hall, with a vaulted ceiling. A consecrated linga energizes the space which is specially designed for learning Hatha yoga. The 21-week Hatha Yoga teacher training program happens here every July – December.
