Yoga?

I don't do yoga, so I'm no help on what type to use, but I know many here do. I'm sure they will be along soon to explain what they do.

I did yoga at least 3x a week for 1 month. It was painful for me but there was progression.

My nerves really flared and it left me in lost of pain though my overall mood was lifted if that makes any sense. I was able to leave my house more often even though my nerves were more inflamed than normal. I eventually stopped because I hit a herx/depression stage and never returned. I actually hope to find motivation and try it again.

I used to have a regular yoga practice - but stopped that a number of years ago. I did go to one recently a friend in town was subbing for and loved it. It was a hot yoga class and I paced myself to do just what I could. It felt so good to sweat. I was taking some resistance stretching classes, that I really liked, but I don't recommend this movement modality any more to people because I was bullied in class by the founder of the technique. I don't do bullies, or support their businesses.

I practice yoga a lot.. A few times a week at a studio and as needed at home.. It helps my pain level so so much, I really don't know how I'd have managed with all the lyme pain without it. Sometimes the yoga itself hurts a lot, like a whole lot, and it's freaky to feel so embodied when I'm very uncomfortable (for example, if my breathing is weird from air hunger) but it brings such relief that I'm sure overall it's positive for me.

The spiritual element is great, too... Nothing wrong with a little extra spiritual fortitude with all of this lyme suffering!

I do simple hatha classes. I'm sure the restorative/therapeutic classes would be good just for feeling rested, but the haha classes are great for body pain because of all the movement they bring to the joints and stretching to the muscles.
