10 Things You Never Knew About Yoga

While not officially yoga related, I made purchase this week of one of my heart’s desires: a far infrared sauna.

How Can Yoga Help People with Fibromyalgia?

The benefits of yoga are numerous, particularly if you are a fibromyalgia sufferer. Yoga postures are easy to perform and can be practiced in the comfort of your own home. Yoga is great for beginners, because you do not need to know how to do all of the poses in order to start practicing. Additionally, yoga can be tailored to your own personal needs and stamina levels.

Here are just a few of the specific benefits that yoga can offer fibromyalgia sufferers:

• decreased muscle pain
• increased muscle strength
• greater endurance and stamina
• mood regulation and relief of depression
• improved sleep
• improved concentration

I’ve finally decided to crack into my benefits and get some physio: I have a consultation this Friday at http://www.mmtr.ca/ on referral. I’ve also decided to explore yoga as therapy, and possibly some private restorative classes.
