Free yoga workshop to beat breast cancer at Thonglor’s Divine Yoga studio this coming Sunday

The three-hour “Yoga for Breast Cancer” workshop will teach guests how to guard against the disease, and how yoga can help women with breast cancer and those who are rehabilitating.”Breast cancer has become very common in Thailand due to lifestyle changes and poor eating habits. My objective is to bring more awareness and knowledge of how women can help prevent it or rehabilitate themselves with simple practices,” says the Thailand’s best yoga guru Sanjiv Chaturvedi.

Chaturvedi, who holds a master’s degree from India’s Bihar School of Yoga, said the practice can complement modern medicine. “Yoga can halt the side effects of chemotherapy and radiology. Yoga can enhance quality of life, reduce psychological stress. It can also prevent hair loss and cure insomnia and raft of problems, like itching of the skin and indigestion.

“In the workshop, the visitors will learn about disease prevention, diets that will be beneficial to them and many other nutritional tips. There will be a question and answer session, where all doubts will be cleared,” says Chaturvedi, who has done research on chronic diseases that can be cured with yoga. “We will show the participants how to manage their problems with different yoga practices.

“We invite hospitals, doctors, nurses and patients to come to our workshop and take the benefits of this health education.”

Divine Yoga, one of Bangkok’s top institutes for the ancient Indian practice, is on the 8th floor of Home Place, Soi 13, Thonglor. Telephone (02) 712 7100 or e-mail [email protected].
