Fibro and yoga

Thanks DW, i will probably buy a dvd so i can do it at home. Definitely willing to try this method of stretching. I'll see if I can google that style for long muscles, will be back to check here also, thanks!

I do yoga twice a day. It is very easy yoga and all the moves have been approved by my Neurosurgeon because of my spine/disc issues.

I use a dvd by Rodney Yee called AM/PM yoga. Not only is his voice dreamy...but he is very easy on the eyes and in a beautiful location in Hawaii! LOL So that makes it very fun:)

The morning one is meant to stretch out all the muscles gently and ease you into the day with a bit of energy.

The evening one is meant to calm you down and get you ready for a good night's sleep.

Love them!!! It's always best to just make sure your Dr. is ok with it before starting..

I tried yoga a few times and due to my back and neck injuries I can't do it. The pace was so fast I couldn't take the time to figure out if the move would hurt me or benefit me.

I learned my yoga like moves from a physical therapist--stretches and exercises that would benefit my injured sites and help me deal with the tightness from my fibro.

Good luck to you.
