    Read excerpt

    I stand on one leg on my yoga mat, the other leg folded up to my chest, both arms reaching upward to the sky. I breathe in and out as I balance, my whole body holding me together in the pose. It’s day 164 of yoga. It’s day 165 since I finished the last of my thirty radiation treatments. And it’s exactly a year since I found that suspicious lump in my breast.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!n6nO!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/htt
