For many practitioners, ordinary aches and pains are relieved. Yoga may be effective in counteracting depression by stimulating the brain's production of serotonin, and may help to calm the mind and to allow for more peaceful sleep. Most importantly, yoga teaches one to listen, respect, and be mindful of the body. Through mindfulness, we improve our clarity which allows us to function at our highest potential. The Zakim Center periodically offers yoga classes for Dana-Farber patients.
Classes are generally free and last four to six weeks.
