In this insightful video, Dr. Kriti Hegde, Consultant Paediatric Oncologist at SRCC Children’s Hospital, managed by Narayana Health, Haji Ali, Mumbai, discusses the vital role of physical activity and complementary therapies—such as yoga and pranayama—in supporting children undergoing cancer treatment.

Dr. Hegde emphasizes how incorporating yoga for cancer patients into the daily routine helps maintain muscle tone, reduce fatigue, and promote a calm and resilient mind—all of which are essential during the recovery journey.

Joining her is Physiotherapist Dhriti Sharma from SRCC Centre for Child Development, who elaborates on how yoga serves as a powerful mind-body therapy for cancer patients. Whether a child is mobile or bedridden, these movements can be adapted, making yoga an inclusive and feasible form of healing.

The video also includes a demonstration of guided breathing techniques like:

Omkar Pranayama – to calm the nervous system and support emotional balance

Anulom Vilom – to improve lung function and overall mental clarity

These techniques are part of a holistic cancer recovery model that goes beyond conventional treatment, aiming to support both physical health and emotional well-being in pediatric oncology.

This video is especially valuable for parents, caregivers, and anyone seeking safe, supportive practices to enhance a child’s recovery during or after cancer treatment.
