In this video we hear the story of a woman (Lola) and her three friends who were diagnosed with cancer. Together the three women decided to take yoga classes as a form of self help. 

Lola opted for surgery and chemotherapy, which she feels helped her. However both she and her husband believe that her yoga practice has played a huge roll in her recovery. With yoga Lola was able to take her mind of off her illness. She learned how to focus on feeling healthy and relaxed so that her body was better equipped to fight off the cancer. She says that the most healing part of class was savasana - final relaxation.

Throughout the video the husband is very sad and near tears as he discusses his wife's cancer. When the host asks him about yoga, the husband's entire face lights up.  It is so beautiful.  His love for her is strong. She is a fortunate woman to have a supportive spouse, loving friends, a nurturing yoga teacher, and the ability to follow a long term yoga practice.
