I discovered this class through Fibro Flyers during lockdown and haven’t missed a week since. I’d never tried yoga before, and I was worried it might be too much—but it’s gentle, focused on small movements that make a big difference. I don’t have to leave the house, which helps conserve my energy, and because it’s live, it gives me the motivation to show up and feel part of something.
In winter, when my health really dips, yoga gives me more than just movement—it lifts my mood and helps with my mental health. I need fewer osteopath visits now, and it’s one of the few things that truly helps with stiffness and fatigue.
What’s surprised me most is the sense of inclusion. It’s the one time each week I feel part of something regular and supportive. That feeling of community, even online, really matters—especially when living with a long-term condition like fibromyalgia.
I’m so glad I listened when someone encouraged me to try it. If you’re unsure, just do one class. You might find, like I did, that it becomes something you really look forward to each week.”
