Summary

This trial studies how well Yoga works in supporting children with cancer and their parents during chemotherapy infusion. Pediatric cancer and its treatment is one of life's most stressful events for children and their parents. Yoga is an ancient holistic healing science that incorporates postures, breathing, relaxation, and meditation to facilitate harmony between body, mind, and spirit. Participating in Yoga exercise may improve the negative psychosocial effects in children with cancer and their parents during chemotherapy treatment.
