Yoga for the Chronic Life

Join the movement - reclaim self care. Even if it's in bite sized pieces

Welcome to the self-care movement! I’m Melissa, I help people with chronic pain and fatigue put self-care & wellness first

Why a movement and not a revolution? I'm too tired for that! I have other things to do. Let's start small together...


Go from

  • The push through model to the self-care model
  • What are these conditions I live with to a solid understanding with management plans
  • “Try to get better sleep” to practical deep rest strategies
  • Stressed and overwhelmed to calming strategies
  • Trying to do all the things to intentional efficiency

The rules

  • We deserve a great quality of life
  • The push through model didn’t improve our symptoms or quality of life
  • The self-care model improves our quality of life and makes us better partners, parents, employees, caregivers – people contributing to this world
  • Deep rest is a wonderful tool for self-care and can’t be employed too often
  • This is a safe haven for you to find what you need
  • Learn about the self-care model (and how that complements the work you do with your medical team)


Build your daily toolkit with accessible yoga and chronic pain and fatigue management principles

Yoga can't cure you but it CAN (four reasons to join us):


>Give you practical tools you can use yourself (self-efficacy is linked to better outcomes for us)

>Gentle movement your way (lack of movement is linked to lower life expectancy and other health issues)

>Supportive team (no isolation here, even if you can't leave the house right now)

>Tackle the central nervous system overdrive which leads to depression, anxiety, insomnia, pain amplification and more.


I can't wait to share this with you

How do I build my toolkit?

Each month you will be on a guided journey. You will receive a container with four accessible yoga classes:

  • Gentle movement
  • Restorative class
  • Meditation
  • Breathing or other self-care practice

All designed to help you breathe, stretch and rest well.

Each month you retain access to the previous containers, building a library of options.

In addition to this we will learn some key concepts to managing chronic pain and fatigue well:

  • How to assess your baseline
  •  Tracking your symptoms,
  • Create symptom management plans
  • Learn about pacing
  • and more. 

These are in easy to understand booklets with worksheets and templates to guide you.

You will also receive access to our exclusive members’ group.

  • Supportive team.
  • You can ask me questions
  • Extra information and resources.
  • You also get a front row look at new resources I create.


This is a hybridized program designed to meet you where you are.

Just want the yoga? You can choose the guided journey through the modules, or you can jump into The Rest Lounge or the Breath Lab depending on what you need. Unsure what to do, simply ask in the group!


Want extra support in the group? Join in.


Need the workbooklets to create your symptom management plans? You can access it anytime from month two.


Level up or down as you like each month.


You have to do the work


This program is right for you if you are willing to take these tools and use them.


The only thing I ask you to do is to commit to practicing. Even for just 10 minutes a day.


I have designed this to be as easy as possible for you to navigate. Each month you will receive access to a new module with a gentle movement class, restorative (restful) class, meditation and a breathing and/or self-care printable/practice. On your first scheduled practice day (that you have committed to) choose one of the new practices to try. It's nice to get through all of the new practices over the month so that you can see what suits your body and what your favourites are. This way you will know what to come back to.


In my opinion, the most important practices are the Yoga Nidra guided meditations. If you do nothing else for the next 3,6 or 12 months, let it be a consistent Yoga Nidra practice. It will help you gain profound rest in the moment and help to balance your central nervous system. Something that is good for everyone living in this hectic world. But especially for people with chronic pain and fatigue.


In addition to the yoga, you will start tracking your symptoms, create a symptom management plan, flare plans, learn about pacing and more.


What would you pay to improve your sleep, even a little? To experience true relaxation, for even a moment? To create a toolkit of things you can do for yourself whenever you need?


To be able to enjoy movement again and avoid flares when doing it?


Priceless? Me too! So take advantage and join us now!

I want you to have tools that can help you manage your symptoms every day

Hi, I’m Melissa!


I live with chronic symptoms (CFS and FMS). My mission is to share what I've learnt on my journey in the past 20 years living with chronic illness. And the past 10 improving symptoms.


I make adaptable, accessible yoga and combine that with pain and fatigue management principles.

We need different options (bed, chair, floor), varying class lengths, sometimes we just need an efficient nap (Yoga Nidra).

Because I don't want you to spend as long as I did with no help and no tools.


The side benefits of the right yoga for us is nothing to turn our noses up at either. Good yoga can help:

• calm the autonomic nervous system

• improve sleep

• reduce fatigue

• reduce pain

• increase physical capacity

• decrease myofascial pain

• lessen anxiety

• reduce depression

• induce relaxation

• bring a mindfulness of movement

• help with awareness of proper alignment

And more


I LOVE knowing that I can induce deep rest, alleviate muscle tension, gently release my neck (a 24/7 issue to manage) MYSELF. It is profoundly satisfying to have tools, know when I need them and be free to use them almost anytime, anywhere.


I am so excited to have you join me on this MISSION to create a yoga studio specifically for people with chronic pain and fatigue.

Course curriculum

What you see is just the beginning. There will be 12 modules total, with a full Rest Lounge and Breath Lab. You gain access to a new module each month you are a member and retain access to prior modules. You also get to shape future content by making suggestions/requests in the group.

What Students Say

“I like being able to go at my own pace. Each video is very well explained so I am able to follow easily. I especially like that you included bedtime yoga.” – Shelly


"I love yoga with Melissa Reynolds it has helped me feel more relaxed, less cramping, less pain." - Danny from Health-Hats.com


I used the chair yoga on a day where my pain was extremely high. I had already decided that my day was canceled. Going out was not gonna be possible but I did the series and about 10 mins after I noticed I felt more alert and less pain . Before I knew it I was dressed in the car and driving to my sister’s house. I ended up spending the evening there and then going to the grocery store after that. I would have never imagined being able to do a program and have such immediate results.” - Latoya @fibroflash


"For the first time I'm in a yoga class that I feel like I'm actually going to get it...I really can do this and I love how it feels." -Meshea from mesheacrysup.com


"You have made it possible for people with multiple issues to be able to get benefits of yoga without the stress and pain." - Mimi Diz
