This is a phase II 2-arm randomized controlled trial comparing yoga (Yoga for Cancer
Survivors, YOCAS©®) to standard care in reducing cancer-related fatigue in Hispanic
cancer survivors. Survivors randomized to Arm 1 will receive Standard Care and Arm 2 will
receive standard care plus a four-week YOCAS©® intervention where Hispanic survivors
attend yoga sessions together. Investigators will acquire preliminary data on
cancer-related fatigue, as well as, secondary data on other common side effects.
