Summary
This study tests whether yoga therapy can improve physical and emotional well-being in people with cervical cancer undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. About 40 participants with stage IB2 to IIIB cervical cancer will attend yoga classes or receive a DVD. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
