Yoga Support Group for FM 5.00 5.002

Hi! I have been living with Fibromyalgia (FM), chronic pain and fatigue for 10 years. I find yoga helpful for managing my conditions and have been wanting to share my experience with the others. I met a group of nice people with FM last year and got the idea of setting up a yoga support group ourselves so that we can do gentle yoga and share our experience. I conducted a group in downtown last year and the experience was very positive. The support from members gave me energy to carry on. I set up this Meet up page hoping to connect with more people with FM and/or other chronic conditions out there. Do come and join our meet up, or stay connected as our online network member. Take care! Linus

Testimonial from member:
"I had the pleasure of participating in a Yoga group for people with FM that Linus was leading. For me it was a very beneficial experience. Linus incorporated time for all of us to share thoughts and coping strategies for FM with the Yoga instruction. She was able to focus on adapting Yoga positions to assist those of us who are challenged by FM so that we could get the most out of the poses. After each session I felt energized, and by the end of the sessions, felt an improvement in my flexibility. For those of us who have FM it is important to get movement, be able to stretch and learn to breathe properly. This helps to reduce pain. I look forward to participating in more sessions" Susan

      This is what I use to keep my doctor advised of ALL that is wrong with me even if I am seeing him for something else. When your file is requested it is imperative to show that your symptoms are PROLONGED.
