Post Mastectomy Yoga practice

This yoga practice is designed for women who have recently undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Hope you find it helpful. :)

Thank you so much for posting this. I had a lumpectomy two weeks ago . I had regularly practiced yoga presurgery. This break for healing has been difficult as yoga was my tool for stress relief.

Thank you Autumn. I hope you're having a speedy recovery and feeling better each day! :)

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a few weeks out from a bilateral mastectomy with tissue expanders and this is the first yoga practice I’ve found that addressed my needs and current limitations. As an avid yoga student, I have felt so frustrated to have so many physical limitations currently & this just allowed me to stretch deeply, practice a bit of strength and let my mind be at peace for a moment. I can’t thank you enough.

[@yogatogo]

Thank you for your kind words. Sending you lots of love and wishing you quick healing. You've got this! :)

fmccollum1 I also had a double mastectomy with tissue expanders. Any movement of my chest or arms is painful, but I got through this.

This practice has been so helpful for me! Started it at 3 weeks post-op and have done it many times since! Thank you so much for creating this space for folks in recovery!

[@einatthau569]

Thank you so much! 3 weeks post surgery, this felt good

[@ApulinaFelts]

Thank you so much! I did this 9 days post-op in the garden listening to the birds and it has restored my spirit x

Thank you, my darling one. I just had a mastectomy of my right breast on June 15. I begin chemo this month, in July. I loved seeing your smiling, inspirational, and radiant face. I have felt alone-- since I live alone, but especially during this time of COVID. However, this video helped me to feel more connected, which is a huge deal! G-d bless you, and all of us. xxoo

[@yogatogo]

Thank you Maralyn! Sending much love and light your way. Let me know how you're doing. All my best to you.

[@amybanocy6668]

Thank you for this! 3 weeks post bilateral mastectomy and first time back on the mat.

[@kimmoss-allen5036]

Thank you for this gentle yoga practice! I am 1 week out from lumpectomy and this is super helpful. ❤❤

[@lindapaul9665]

I echo all the comments here. I am 3 weeks from DMX and this was my first attempt at getting back on the mat. It was absolutely perfect for where I am now. I'm in awe that you did this 8 days from your surgery! In the truest meaning of the word . . .namaste. The light in you is allowing the light in me to come bak.

[@staceysickels1948]

That was so very nice. I had a double mastectomy and this practice reminded me of the strength I still have. I have expanders in (due to COVID) and they are so painful.

[@yogatogo]

Yes, you are super strong! I hated the expanders too, but it gets better. Sending lots of love and healing your way. Take care!

[@Unlist-f5n]

Thank you so much for doing this for us. I finally can feel hopeful & normal again after dm surgery. Speedy recovery everyone, one moment in time🙏

[@peacefulmind1559]

I had bilateral mastectomy 10 months ago and this yoga is the only thing that helping ease the pain on my right side neck. The spasm on my right side chest is almost gone now too. Thank u soooooo much! Btw, you look great! ... just 8 days after bilateral mastectomy here in this video? Wow!!!

[@lancasteryarnshop]

Exactly the practice I was looking for today. 🎉

[@sed0408]

Thank you for this video. 2 weeks out of bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. Had some complications. This is the most helpful, normal thing I’ve done in a while and I feel so much better.

[@yogatogo]

Thank you! Hope you're doing well now. Take care!

[@melissaswann2425]

Thank you, this is perfect gentle exercise to rebuild my yoga practise after cording issues. Wishing you well 🙏🏻

[@Felidaebehavior]

Thank you so much for this! This was the first yoga I've been able to comfortably do since my double mastectomy. You look great for only being a week out of surgery! I was a mess and could barely move after the first week!

[@karen1s]

Thank you. I am almost 3 weeks out from left mastectomy with reconstruction, this practice was great. I wish I had found it earlier. 😊 I hope you are doing well. Best wishes to you for your journey. 💝

[@yogatogo]

I was fine until you had me squat ... then I fell over. Are you using the back wall for support?

[@yogatogo]

Yes, please use a wall for support. :)
