Many women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC,
also called stage 4 breast cancer) ) practice
yoga. Gentle yoga routines and relaxing yoga may
reduce the risk of certain cancers, including
metastatic, or stage IV, breast cancer,
according to the National Cancer Institute. It
has also been shown to have a positive effect in
reducing levels that are associated with the
development and progression of breast
cancer. Studies suggest that physical activity
and yoga practice after a diagnosis of breast
cancer potentially have a favorable effect on
the complications and severity of breast cancer.
Let us know about some such yoga asanas
beneficial in Metastatic breast cancer
(MBC). Yoga with Metastatic Breast
Cancer Gentle yoga postures, breathing
exercises, meditation, and didactic presentations
can help manage psychological and functional
health and feelings of uncertainty in early-stage
breast cancer patients and survivors.

Research studies showed that low-intensity forms
of yoga, such as gentle Hatha and restorative
yoga improved the health of breast cancer
patients by reducing the burden of stress, fear,
apprehension, anxiety, and nervousness. Asanas,
Kriyas, Pranayama, Dhyana, Udgid and Om Naad led
to significant improvements in emotional
intelligence, knowledge and general
health. However breast cancer is classified into
stage 0, IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC and
stage IV. Each stage refers to the spread of the
cancer, with the last stage showing metastasis to
other parts of the body. Women with metastatic
breast cancer (MBC) have a very low survival
rate, or life expectancy of about 2 years. And
they report higher levels of pathological
symptoms including pain, anxiety, fatigue, sleep
disturbances, as well as psychological and
functional impairment. It is very important for
the women of the country to know the early signs
and symptoms of metastatic breast cancer so that
the survival rate can be increased and cancer can
be completely avoided. Yoga has also been shown
in several studies to contribute to improved
pain, fatigue levels, and overall better quality
of life, and a significant increase in vitality
and acceptance during periods of home yoga
practice in women with MBC. However, especially
women with metastatic breast cancer will need to
discuss physical activity with their doctor
before starting a yoga routine. Yoga for Women

yoga routine for women with metastatic breast
cancer and see how you feel. Cat Cow Pose

To do this yoga posture, first with the help of
your wrists and knees, make a posture like a
quadruped animal. Now take a deep breath and
release it. After this, while inhaling look
towards the ceiling and exhale. Do this yoga

(Matsyasana) Matsyasana yoga is also called heart
opener yoga, which means it opens up your chest,
ribs, lungs and upper back. It reduces the risk
of breast cancer by stimulating lymphatic
drainage in the breasts and pecs. According to
yoga experts, immunity can also be increased by
regular practice of this yoga, which reduces the
risk of cancer.
To do this asana, first you have to sit in
Padmasana. Then lie down on your back while
leaning back. While bending backward, you can
take support of the elbows and hands. Now hold
your left foot with your right hand. And hold
the right foot with the left hand. In this
position your elbows should be on the ground.
And your knees should be touching the ground.

backwards. Keep doing the process of breathing
continuously. Keep yourself in this position for
as long as you can. Come back to your starting
position. Belly Breathing (Diaphragmatic
Pranayama)

Deep belly breathing is good for your overall
health, it not only keeps you physically fit but
also helps you use the diaphragm more
effectively. Deep breathing helps your lungs,
heart and brain last longer. Helps to keep
healthy. This works to encourage your full
breathing and reduce stress. With the help of
which the increased oxygen in the brain
stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system.
Similarly, it is necessary even after the
treatment of breast cancer, it increases the
circulation of your blood as well as increases
the oxygen in the blood.
You can sit or stand, whichever is comfortable
for you. Try to calm your mind and dont think of
anything. Place your hand on your stomach, your
belly button should be near. While doing the
exercise, your chest should not rise and your
abdomen should be expanded. Here the diaphragm is
to be used and fully inflated and then allowed
to exhale slowly and evenly. Corpse Pose

works to keep your mental health healthy along
with your lungs. Shavasana works by promoting
blood circulation in your body and relaxing your
muscles.

time. For this, you lie on your back on a mat on
the ground and spread both your arms and legs
well. After this, calming your mind, breathe
freely and exhale. Conclusion Yoga and
spirituality can do a whole host of benefits to
the mind, body, and spirit. Physical exercises
such as yoga, pranayama, and meditation
