Yoga for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain

Yoga for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain

Are you living with fibromyalgia and regularly dealing with chronic pain, fatigue, and other difficult symptoms? Are you looking for ways to live better and take back control of your own life?

This Yoga for Fibromyalgia course is for you. Having lived with fibromyalgia for over 20 years now, and having tried EVERYTHING to make myself feel better, I can confidently tell you that gentle, regular exercise is one of the best things we can do for ourselves in both body and mind. If chronic pain or limited mobility has been holding you back, or if you feel like fibromyalgia is keeping you from living the life you want, then you owe it to yourself to give this course a try. It's an amazing way to gently and safely stretch and strengthen your body, and prove to yourself that you are more in charge than you might think!

This 7-day Yoga for Fibromyalgia series will give you a new yoga practice for every day of the week. It offers modifications for all levels, and the classes build on each other, so that by the end of the week, you'll be doing much more than you might have thought was possible when you first started! This challenge is suitable for everyone living with chronic pain - even complete yoga beginners. Classes range from 10 to 30 minutes, providing opportunities for you to fit various practices into your busy life. By the end of the week, you'll feel more limber, stronger, and calmer, as well as proud of yourself for meeting this challenge!

Together, we'll flow through 7 different practices, including practices done entirely sitting or lying down for those days where you might feel more limited in your mobility or when a fibro flare-up has you in its sights. We'll flow through practices designed specifically for morning and evening, to help you start your day out right with positive energy, or wind down and prepare for a good night's sleep. You can practice at your own pace in your own home, with no special equipment necessary. Each of these courses can be downloaded and is yours to keep! Practice anywhere and anytime.

This course is yours to keep and come back to as often as you would like. As you flow through these 7 practices with me, you'll begin to notice which classes feel particularly good to you and your body, allowing you to return to them any time you need to feel better. You'll also receive a 44-page eBook that breaks down the benefits and detailed instructions for every single posture we'll be doing over the 7 practices, so that you can review and better understand which postures feel best to you. As a bonus, you'll also receive a 10-minute Meditation for Chronic Pain practice that can help you reframe the impact that fibromyalgia and chronic pain have on your life.

This course includes the following classes:

• Day 1 - 10-minute Slow Yoga Flow: We'll start things out with a gentle flow to get us going and energize the body to build a strong foundation for the week ahead.

• Day 2 - 10-minute Seated Chair Yoga Flow: Keeping our practice accessible to all, we'll explore the benefits of an entirely seated, very gentle practice.

• Day 3 - 10-minute Supine Yoga Flow: Perfect for the middle of the week or for any day where pain or frustration may be getting us down, we'll move through a series of slow stretches and twists done entirely while lying on our back. You can even practice this whole session with your eyes closed.

• Day 4 - 15-minute Morning Yoga Flow: We'll start our day off on the right foot, moving from lying down, to seated, to standing in this very slow practice. You could even start it lying on your bed with your eyes closed. Often times, living with fibromyalgia means that we start each day asking ourselves, "what will I be able to do today?" This class aims to help you answer that question with a positive attitude! Feel free to repeat this class as often as you would like to help wake up your body.

• Day 5 - 15-minute Evening Yoga Flow: After a long day, we'll wind down and get the body and mind ready for a good night's rest, finishing on our backs with our eyes closed. This practice will allow us to take stock of the day and end it on a high note. Feel free to repeat this class as often as you would like to prepare for sweet dreams.

• Day 6 - 20-minute Chair Yoga Flow: Building on our day 2 chair yoga practice, we'll take things up a notch, with a more dynamically-paced class that also includes some standing and balance poses, using our chair for support. You might be surprised at what you can do!

• Day 7 - 30-minute Yin Yoga Practice: We'll end our course with a creative sequence of postures designed to stretch out your body's connective tissues, giving your muscles a rest. Positive affirmations and encouragements will send you on your way, proud of yourself for what you have accomplished in the past week.

This course is for YOU. If you have been looking for ideas and solutions of how to live better and honor your body while living with fibromyalgia, look no further. You don't need to be strong or flexible to receive the benefits. As long as you're open to giving it a chance and trusting yourself to try new things, you will feel better by the end of this week. And I can't wait to practice together with you.

Namasté,
