Purpose
This study is designed to examine potential benefits of yoga for breast cancer survivors who have completed cancer treatment within the past year (except for tamoxifen/aromatase inhibitors), and will be at least two months post surgery or adjuvant therapy or radiation, whichever occurred last. It is predicted that the yoga intervention will decrease inflammation, decrease fatigue, and improve mood. The funding for the study is provided by the National Cancer Institute.

Breast cancer survivors confront a number of post-treatment problems; fatigue is the most common problem reported by survivors. Although there are many possible causes for post-treatment fatigue, there is growing evidence that persistent fatigue may be related in part to overactivation of an important part of the immune system, the inflammatory network. We are interested in discovering what kinds of things can help reduce fatigue and inflammation for breast cancer survivors. Specifically, we are interested in examining how a physical activity intervention, yoga, might influence these factors. We hope to discover whether yoga offers both psychological and physical benefits for cancer survivors, as well as decreases inflammation, decreases fatigue, and improves mood.
