	In a study performed by researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center which consisted of 61 women who recently had surgery for breast cancer and were now undergoing six weeks of radiation treatment, researchers found that those that did yoga twice a week felt better, had more energy, were less sleepy, and were in better general health than those that didn't.
