Specialist lymphoedema clearing, along with self\u2010management, remains the mainstay of therapy. Yoga, an increasingly popular complementary therapeutic practice, may provide another tool to augment self\u2010management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A qualitative, descriptive design.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Interviews were conducted with 15 women with stage one breast cancer\u2010related lymphoedema who had completed an 8\u2010week yoga intervention trial.
