Chronic and debilitating physical pain and discomfort in the body leads to a variety of other symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia (FM). Yoga postures, breathing exercises, deep relaxation, and meditation work individually and together to help relieve pain and discomfort from joint and muscular pain, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, irritability, digestive disorders, and other symptoms related to FM. Using gentle yoga exercises, deep relaxation, and meditation techniques, participants will experience the regulation of the functioning of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, those systems related to our “flight or fight” response and the regulation of blood pressure, heart and respiration rates.
