(See this <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32390238/ns/health-cancer/" rel="nofollow">CNN health article</a>.) Yoga poses that can "add iron to your guns" include Chaturanga Dandasana (4-limbed staff pose); Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog Pose); Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog Pose); and Vasisthasana (Side Plank Pose).

They used to say "be careful" with that arm. Can you confirm this new recommendation, and if it's true, what yoga poses would be beneficial as well? - ellie, NYC I’ve now heard that breast cancer survivors Should lift weights and exercise the affected side ( arm) to make it stronger, and help your overall posture.
