SATURDAY, March 8 (HealthDay News) — Yoga helps ease hot flashes and other menopausal 
symptoms in breast cancer survivors, a U.S. study says.
Some of the 37 women who’d had early stage breast cancer took part in an eight-week “Yoga of Awareness” program, while others were assigned to a control group. All the women self-reported their menopausal symptoms before, immediately after, and three months after the program.
The yoga program used in this study is specifically designed to address menopausal symptoms through gentle stretching postures, breathing exercises, meditation techniques, group discussions and study of yoga principles.
“This program is not what you’d find at your local fitness center,” study co-author Laura Porter, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. ” ‘Yoga of Awareness’ is based on traditional yoga techniques that go beyond the teaching of specific postures to incorporate practices aimed at reducing stress and creating a heightened sense of awareness and acceptance about one’s physical and mental state.”
