Asana for Fibromyalgia Flares

This particular practice brings motion into the spine, hips, and shoulders without overexerting the body. With such simple movements, it is less about physical exercise and more about focus and control.

It can be hard to find the balance between letting your body rest and getting it the movement that it needs, especially when that is the last thing that you want to do. Keep your movements small if you are in a flare up, or work up through your full range as a morning practice to start your day.

The whole practice is done lying on your back, so I do recommend staying in bed or putting a little extra padding down if you are on your yoga mat.
