INDOOROOPILLY breast cancer survivor Sarah Varghese knows all too well about the long recovery process after diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Yoga Chi Gung, a style of yoga, helped her with that recovery.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000, the mother of three underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
Despite being tired from the treatments, Mrs Varghese decided to start practising yoga to help address both her physical and psychological needs.
“The fatigue lasts for many months after the treatments finish and I did not feel right for at least a year after the chemotherapy and radium,” she said.
“I found that yoga was of great benefit in managing the fatigue and anxiety associated with the cancer diagnosis and treatment.”
Now a yoga teacher herself, Mrs Varghese wants to share her knowledge and techniques with other women who may be in similar situations.
She teachers classes at her home every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
She is also a yoga teacher with the Kim Walters Choices program.
