I recently completed treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma and I'm excited to move on with my life as a happy and healthy individual. I hope to be able to start classes through Yoga Bear because I feel like yoga will help in my healing process.

I have been exhausted as well. I do yoga almost everyday and at first it gave me a great amount of energy but now it's starting to contribute to my exhaustion. I plan to talk to my doctor soon but I just trained to be an instructor so that could be a big part of it. It was and still is hard for me to get back to my life. I was diagnosed a year ago last month and I finished treatment about 7 or so months ago.

I began doing Hot yoga through this program. I have done it almost everyday for the last 5 months. I lost a small patch of hair on the back of my head during radiation that the doctors told me probably wouldn't come back. After a month of hot yoga my hair started growing in this spot and I felt as if the chemo was really leaving my body. It was definitely discouraging to start hot yoga because I would have to sit for a good amount of the class due to nausea and lightheadedness but I recommend it when you're ready.

Congrats on finishing treatment!
