Does yoga practice applied to children diagnosed with cancer reduce fatigue in children? 2. Does yoga practice applied to children diagnosed with cancer affect their quality of life? 3. Does yoga practice applied to children diagnosed with cancer affect the symptoms experienced by children? Before and after yoga practice, children diagnosed with cancer will answer survey and scale questions about fatigue, quality of life and symptoms.
