Bed Yoga

I started doing some stretching poses while still in bed in the mornings. Sometimes I fall asleep for a few minutes while doing it too AND I have the excuse to stay in bed that much longer.

I call it BED YOGA.

I have found it very helpful, but my "poses" are based on my issues with my hips and calves.

When I was having a flare a few months back, I started doing the same... I had to before I could consider moving enough to get out of bed. It was helpful!! Did you look up particular poses or are you just doing what you intuitively feel would help?

Yes! I actually have a basic routine I do when I'm stuck in bed - regular stuff modified to work in my bed cave. It really helps chase the kinks away.

There are also a few different methods of breathing. I use this for the days when breathing is the best I can manage.

I do poses that feel intuitive for me.

I just really get a kick of out having an excuse to both stay in bed AND do something good for me.
