Article Abstract
Purpose: Evidence suggests that yoga may help improve cancer-related symptoms though knowledge of the experiences, barriers and preferences of people diagnosed with cancer is limited. This study sought to examine the use of yoga in an Australian sample and identify the experiences and preferences associated with undertaking yoga practice as formative research to help inform a future yoga intervention.
Methods: Adults diagnosed with any type of cancer completed a cross-sectional survey including questions regarding their demographics, experiences and preferences for yoga practice.
Results: Sixty-eight people who had been diagnosed with cancer completed the survey. Most of the participants (70.8%) had practiced yoga since their diagnosis. A variety of reasons for practice were endorsed, and benefits experienced included physical and psychological factors. The most common barrier to practice was related to the physical ability to undertake yoga. Participants indicated a preference for group classes (44.1%), with a frequency of practice of 2-3 times per week (60.3%), 60 min in length (75%). The preferred time of practice was 9am-12pm (51.5%) and travel distance 5-10 km (44.1%). Online yoga delivery was endorsed, with participants preferring pre-recorded sessions.
Conclusions: Results from this study provide insights into the experiences, barriers and preferences for yoga practice in people with cancer which will assist in developing yoga programs in this cohort to investigate the effects on cancer and treatment-related symptoms.

Although there is considerable research into the impact of homicide on surviving family members, research is limited on subjective experiences of those who lost a parent due to homicide during childhood. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis, we conducted and analyzed in-depth semi-structured interviews, to explore lived experiences and perspectives of post-traumatic growth with adults who lost a parent due to homicide as a child.
