exciting coverage!
Kristie's class & student in U.S. News & World Report
one of my students in the Gentle Yoga for Cancer Patients class that Jnani Chapman and i teach at UCSF was interviewed for an article on the growing popularity of CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) in the January 21 issue of U.S. News and World Report
"Yoga, a physical activity, has understandable benefits for cancer patients, in whom it helps restore strength and flexibility to muscles weakened by treatment. Alicia Chin has been taking a weekly yoga class for cancer patients at the Osher Center. 'Yoga reteaches the muscles how to work, and it makes me feel good,' says Chin, a 46-year-old San Franciscan. She had a lumpectomy and had two lymph glands removed last March, followed by radiation, and now is enrolled in a clinical trial of a new chemotherapy regimen. 'You get all these drugs pumped into you, you don't want to do anything,' says Chin, a paralegal. She still doesn't have the strength to reach up and paint a ceiling, as she puts it, 'but it really makes a difference.'"
