The Gentle Stretch Bed Yoga Toolkit
Doing yoga in bed to gently stretch and strengthen our sore, exhausted bodies
Doing yoga in bed is a great way to gently stretch and strengthen our sore, exhausted bodies.
This very special toolkit will help you to do gentle stretching right in your bed.
Are brand new to the idea of "doing" yoga with chronic pain and fatigue?
Is practicing on your bed where you are at right now?
Research is showing us that yoga can help us to reduce pain, increase energy, improve sleep, decrease anxiety, help us breath better and calm the central nervous system.
Let me teach you these tools so that you can utilize them wherever and whenever you need them. Even on your bed.
Yoga won't cure you. But it can help.
Especially if you choose the right type of yoga designed for bodies with chronic pain and fatigue.
The best benefit yoga offers, in my opinion, is as a practical tool for our symptom management toolkit.
In this special toolkit we take gentle stretches... and turn them into practical tools you can use every single day, wherever you are. Even on your bed.
“I think it was exceptional. I am dealing with the idea that this will never go away. I think that is my biggest struggle. Other ailments or conditions I have had in the past there has been an operation or cure. It's a bit overwhelming on my flare days.”

And learn a few different ways to access the benefits of meditation and relaxation

"You go slowly enough, are not pushy, demanding perfect poses or the world will end etc. So I'm truly not feeling stressed about it. For the first time I'm in a yoga class that I actually feel like I'm going to get it...I really can do this and I love how it feels."

You are! You are always in charge of your body. Please check in with your medical team. Continually check in with yourself. And ask questions.
