From my experience of being a yoga teacher I would say that the majority of people who practices yoga would pay testimony to the fact that it makes one feel better!

Also I have discovered it is a myth that your muscles degenerate quickly after a spell of bed rest. I was unable to do yoga for 5 months and then went to a strong Iyengar method yoga class and did everything including abdominal exercises such as “the boat with and without oars”, even though I’d had 7-hour abdominal surgery. I also find that yoga practice teaches you to follow instruction, so one’s recovery is speeded up. Sadly, the chemotherapy has reduced my red blood cells and I am feeling very weak at the moment, but I expect after a transfusion my recovery will be complete.
