About Yoga for Breast health
Regulated by the endocrine system, breasts respond to hormonal changes through women’s lives from teens to post-menopause years. Breasts matter about how women feel about themselves .
Breast health is ignored in most yoga teacher training courses. Yoga teachers and therapists interested in promoting women’s health with yoga will gain new insights about how to adapt practices to suit women’s breasts, rather than women having to endure discomfort. 
This Well Woman Yoga module/CPD offers relevant knowledge from Ayurveda and Yoga, and a wealth of practical resources that women can use at different stages of their lifecycle whether they wish to take care of their breasts in a preventive perspective or to maintain their health and wellbeing after undergoing breast cancer treatment.
