10 Minute Yoga for Fibromyalgia – Gentle Stretches for Chronic Pain Relief

✨ Click here to check out my brand new 7-day Yoga for Fibromyalgia course: tinyurl.com/h6fzppkx I hope you enjoyed this gentle fibromyalgia yoga practice. ✨

Thanks! I cried while doing this because it’s the first time in three years since being diagnosed that I actually start to exercise.

This was my first time trying to exercise since my pain flared up months ago and haven't been able to leave the bed much and your kind words made me cry. Thank you for this.

Beautiful and gentle workout for someone like me who suffers from fibromyalgia, chronic anxiety, panic attacks and lifelong insomnia! Thank you for uploading this workout as very often we fibromyalgics feel we can't exercise because of the excruciating pain and exhaustion often suffered after trying to exercise. This was so beautiful because in some of the positions you were actually hugging yourself and being very self compassionate. Even your voice was very soothing and relaxing. I will be using this and some of your other uploads as now I don't feel like an outsider with a condition many people don't acknowledge or even recognise as a genuinely debilitating disease. It's awful when you feel terrible pain but have to say your fine when people ask because they think "it's all in your mind." Now, I will do these exercises and I will only let a very few trusted friends and family know that I'm trying to improve my FM through gentle care of myself using your uploads. Thanks again.

Came for pain relief and the praise and comfort of your narration made me weep. Thank you so much.

It’s so nice to have someone doing this kind of yoga who also has fibromyalgia! And your words of encouragement were so nice in between poses ❤️ I used to do yoga often before I was diagnosed so it’s nice to get back to it in poses I can ease my way back into! Thank you!

Wow, thank you so much for this. I have fibromyalgia which caused me to quit my dance career. I've always been so hesitant to try yoga as it's 'not as impressive' as dance and I didn’t want to accept that I have limitations now. Doing this has really helped me realise that even though I can’t push myself as much as I used to, I can still do small things to be less controlled by my pain.

I’m 16 and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few days ago...since then I’ve had a really bad flare up and was in so much pain while doing school but these stretches really helped a lot. Thank you so much for your positivity!

I hope this routine can help you with your chronic pain! How do you feel afterwards? Please leave me a comment, and also try out my Legs Up the Wall sequence: https://youtu.be/cICYAEAgVbs

I’ve been in pain for so long and it always makes me sad that I know yoga releases the pain but the pain is just so intense I just lay in bed. Thank you for this I feel so much better in just a minute it’s crazy 😯

Thank you for your kind, encouraging words and reminding us all that we are never alone in what we're going through!

Thank you Joelle! Your videos are extremely helpful, physically and mentally.

I’m a social worker who just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia a couple months ago. I thought I was doing great accepting and managing this new condition with all my tools of the trade 😂 but I overexercised last week and have been in pain every day since! It’s easy to get discouraged. Your sincere words of encouragement and reframing made me cry because I felt seen and understood by someone who has had this WAY longer than I. Others have said it here in the comments but thank you for helping us feel less alone! Appreciate this and your other chronic pain videos. :)

Love that you’re doing yoga videos for those who suffer with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Thank you!

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed. I especially love that you don't bring in spirituality into it, just listening to your body and accepting it

I was recently tasked by my doctor to begin with 10 minutes of yoga twice a week for my fibro. Your video has been the most accessable for me as an absolute beginner with a very small space to work in and limited flexibility. Thank you thank you thank you!!

The last exercise was so good it got my entire lower body shaking like hell. Feeling my body light

Joelle, we absolutely love your Yin for Fibro series! I do it every day & we keep talking about it on the podcast!! I've told everyone I know about it!!

I've been doing your routine every day for a few weeks now. I really like it, I have fibromyalgia/ CFS/ ME and it helps with the pain, aching, and tension. It's a good routine. Thank you for sharing.

Yoga has become so popular. I tried it 20 years ago and I HATED it. But now, I have fibromyalgia and I've heard so many people talk about how yoga has helped with chronic pain. I watched this video in bed, and I am going to add this to my morning schedule. Thank you for sharing
