“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self”
As we find ourselves living in covid times when health and immunity is so important, the Women’s empowerment foundation organised a teleconference event on “Yoga for Positive Health” through the perspective of a Breast Surgical Oncologist.
Known for its extensive impact not just on one’s physical but mental health as well, when talking about holistic and integrative medicine, Yoga stands out on the top. Given the intensity of stress that we handle on a daily basis, making Yoga a part of our daily lifestyle is a need of the hour.
Expert inputs from Dr. Rashmi Vaidya, MD, MS, FACS, double Board Certified in Surgery having trained in both India (2000) and the US (2009), practicing exclusively breast surgical oncology since completing her Breast Surgery Fellowship from the Cleveland Clinic in 2009 and currently practicing at Ironwood Women’s Center since July 2016, shared her expert insights on the impacts of stress on the body and how Yogic practices can help reverse these damages.
Questions like “What are some Yogic practices to boost immunity?” and “Does science support yoga as effective for healing?” were answered by Dr. Vaidya during the teleconference session that was conducted via Zoom on May 31, 2020. Additional insights on the significance and scientific basis of ‘Om Chanting’ were also explained.
Overwhelmed by the response, we are hoping to continue these small ‘Health teleconference series’ to provide everyone with a better insight into the trending topics of health and well being.
