Plenty of people go on yoga retreats in Arizona in order to improve their flexibility or strengthen their mind-body connection. However, Kelly Boarder took Sedona yoga classes as a way to become whole again after surviving breast cancer.
As she told the Reading Eagle, the 46-year-old yoga instructor spent some time in the Arizona mountains following her final breast reconstruction surgery last year.
Boarder noted that yoga retreats in the Arizona landscape gave her a sense of calm and tranquility that few other holistic regimens could match.
"It was a huge part of my healing, that's just where I took myself," she told the news source. "If I was feeling down, if I was having a hard time, I'd practice or teach a class, and it took a lot of stress out of the whole process."
A number of studies support the use of yoga among breast cancer patients. One notable investigation, which was published in the journal Psycho-Oncology, found that women who practiced holistic health experienced improvements in mood, energy level, emotional well-being and overall quality of life.
As part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many yoga studios are offering special classes designed for breast cancer survivors.
