Yoga & chronic fatigue syndrome?

Posted on 01/19/09, 08:29 pm
Hi there

I Have CFS and am looking to restart yoga. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which style to go for?

I do have back pain which is nerve based due to a fall years ago. Otherwise my back is physically healthy.

I would be glad for any advice!

Much love
Danielle Jessica

    some sort of vinyasa might be easier on you.
    There are several studios who offer "easy does it" yoga (or something like that)

    Anyone else have any thoughts?

    Yin Yoga is the very first thing that springs to mind. I know a lot of people with CF who take this form of yoga. You can also look for a 'restorative yoga' class OR if you have a yoga therapist in your area, you could give them a call and see if they have a teacher in mind. It's probably best to start in a studio but if all else fails there are a lot of videos out with yin yoga (amazon.com, just type it in) or restorative yoga. Yin would be the way to go.... just have a feeling.
    Namaste
