Thank you for the encouragement Joelle! I admire that you are in such great shape and have fibromyalgia; I would have never guessed and was surprised when I heard you saying that. I clicked on the link above but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Before I saw your reply I heard you talk about the series and I will sign up! I have an account now and it's in my wishlist.

@@susanadavila4780 Hi Susana, wonderful! I hope you'll enjoy the course, good for you for committing to taking care of yourself! Try the coupon YT-SPECIAL, I believe it will give you 50% off ;-)
Hi Joelle, about 5 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. After a long struggle, we realized that yes, meditation and Yoga helps, and once my depression was under control, all my fibro symptoms disappeared. I was so happy. End November last year I contacted covid, and ended up in hospital as I'm asthmatic. I was unable to breathe without additional oxygen. I had such bad rash and body aches! I did get better, thank goodness, the rash went away too... Sadly, the body pains remained and have been driving me insane. The doctor says that I now have covid myalgia. The subscription meds are not working, doctors are still trying to figure out exactly how to treat it. Every person responds differently... So here I am again, meditating and doing yoga, when I found your 10 min and then this 20 min yoga sessions for fibro. I've been doing this 20 min session 2x daily... Please make more sessions for chronic pain! Love your style. Beaulah
Thank you so much for sharing your story Beaulah, and good for you for taking good care of yourself with meditation and yoga.

Been following your fibromyalgia videos for a few days now and have been really enjoying them. I usually wake up stiff and tight, and these help loosen me up for the day.
I'm so glad you liked it, well done Joy! I actually have a 30-minute Yin Yoga for Fibromyalgia practice available as part of my 7-day Yoga for Fibromyalgia course in case you'd like to try it.

Well, every day that I do this yoga, I have a better night's sleep. I don't sleep well normally due to Fibro, Chronic Fatigue, Interstitial Cystitis, plus recovering from a difficult appendix surgery months ago. (for whatever reason I have been resisting the yoga stuff my rheumatologist was pushing for the last few years. Thankfully, I finally *caved*) . Bonus points: if I want the treat of yoga, I gotta quickly sweep the floor - my house is now cleaner! Hurrah! Thanks for the many choices you offer, Joelle. It's been fun exploring your channel.
@@YogawithJoelle One year later, I'm still here! Thanks for starting me on my yoga journey, Joelle. My rheumatologist was scribbling down your name/channel info at my last appointment to refer to his other patients - he was that pleased with my progress. thank you again. 🙂xoxo
@@LK-wq3su This makes me so happy! Thank you for taking the time to share this update, and WAY TO GO sticking to it and taking care of yourself! Comments like this help other people and you're proof that taking care of yourself really works!!! 😃
Joelle I wanted to thank you for allowing 🙏 ❤ ♥ the fybromyalgia gentle yoga. I have suffered from fybromyalgia for about two years now. Some days are tougher than others. I am trying to learn how to live my life day to day with this pain that have. I also suffer from a herniated and Santi a bulge disk that is painful also. I just wanted thank you 😊 🙏 for being a blessing in my life. Have a great and encouging weekend. Stay blessed 🙌. Our bodies are very important to us it gives us the mobility that we need. Thanks again.
I AM 17 and I have fibromyalgia since I was 13, whenever I AM in pain I follow these yoga sequence and I start feeling a Lot better, thank You so Much for that!
You are so young . You’re not alone . Foods can be triggers . Sugars processed bad carbs nightshade vegetables, and gluten for some . We are each different. You can get tested for food sensitivities and narrow yours down . Heal the gut and add a good probiotic!
Sorry, you’re so young to have fibromyalgia. I hope you feel much better doing the exercises and things improve for you.😉 I hope one day they’ll find a cure for fibromyalgia. Exercise does help, but if I do too much it makes it far worse, you take care 🙏
I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and this sequence was so helpful for me. I have a hard time with mindfulness with the chronic pain, but this sequence and your calm guidance really helped me become present in my body. I was able to simply notice which stretches were more tender than others, which parts of my body felt tighter than others today, and let it be, breathing into the stretches. I would love more of these videos, and look forward to incorporating this into my self-care routine. Thank you so much Joelle!
I'm so glad it was helpful Kate, and thank you for sharing some of your story! I'm actually working now on a 7-day series of videos for fibromyalgia and chronic pain, so I hope that these will be able to help you do! Well done to you for taking good care of yourself! 🌞
I don't have fibromyalgia but I had my second covid shot yesterday and have a fever and incredible body pain, just terrible lock-up everywhere. I'm sorry for everyone living with chronic pain. I try to remind myself every day that a functioning body is a blessing not to be taken for granted 🙏 This practice was perfect to gently stretch and help me prepare for a restful nap. Thank you.
This is one of the best yoga videos i’ve seen in a while. your voice is perfect for listening to and adds to the relaxing and calming effects. I have FMS and CFS with spinal issues at both ends of my vertebrae. Your video was my first attempt after 18 months of not exercising at all. It’s the perfect start. Also, noticed there are not a lot of males replying.
first time experiencing yin yoga, i really enjoyed it because i could sort of relax a bit more with the slower pace. thank you! i'd love more yin yoga sequences or fibromyalgia.
You're so welcome! I'm really happy you enjoyed it. I was already planning on more yin yoga sequences, so that is lovely to hear - I can also plan some more fibromyalgia sequences in the future 🙂 In the meantime, you might enjoy trying my yin yoga for hip pain sequence if you haven't already (ruclips.net/video/TxDL5iTUE84/видео.html), which some more nice, slow stretches. Well done!
I am having such a bad pain day with my fibro. I really appreciated how gentle these poses were and how the pillow made it easier. I would definitely be into more videos of yin for fibro! This was such a nice gentle practice! I didn’t even think I could get thru a video today. Thank you!
Amazing job, well done!! I do have an additional yin practice for fibro in my complete fibromyalgia program here: tinyurl.com/yx7x2usu Otherwise you may like to browse through my playlist of videos for chronic pain to see what else might serve you: tinyurl.com/yea9me8n
I'm so grateful Aprille introduced me to your channel!! I have fibro and other comorbidities. I've done yoga for years but really honed in on yin and restorative since my FM diagnosis. You are so compassionate and gentle. Thank you so much for your guidance 💜
Thank you Joelle, your videos are the best. I also have COPD and since doing your videos for fibro, I’ve noticed my lungs are more open and it’s easier to breathe. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was lovely. Thank you. It felt very meditative and restorative. It helped me feel less antagonistic toward my pain and more compassionate and loving toward my body.
I've been battling yoga for years. Your videos have been helping me SO much! THANK YOU! 💜💜 I've shared some of your videos with my fibromyalgia support group. I'm hoping you can help them too. Your voice is much more soothing than other videos I've found. Much easier to relax to.
Oh thank you Sharon, I'm so glad to hear this. Truly appreciate your help in spreading the word, too, I hope they can help more people. See you soon on the mat ✨🌺
This is helping me so much, especially as I am having a particularly troublesome flare up. Not only is it bringing relief to my body but also my mind. Thank you so much Joelle x
Another wonderful session 🤗 pain in my left arm has started to alleviate and if i keep at this I'm sure my other arm muscle pain will improve too - thankyou Joelle ❤️ may you be happy, blessed and healthy ❤️
Thank you!!! I have finally found something that I can do. I've had 10 left knee surgeries so my mobility isn't great. I feel so much better after doing yoga with you. I can't thank you enough. 🌼🌼
Dear Joelle, I'm so happy to have found your videos just a few weeks ago. I can't believe you have fibromyalgia, and you are in such great shape and a yoga instructor! That's amazing!!! I have had it as well since about 13 years. I need gentle exercise, which is why I love your style. I'll be discovering more of your different wonderful yoga videos. Thank you for what you do.
Hi Susana, so great to have you in the community! Thank you for sharing your story, and good for you for taking good care of yourself. You may have seen already, but in case you haven't, I have a full playlist of videos for chronic conditions (this one: ruclips.net/p/PL9wzuXltV200U9GfONbt7FXtsiE4VnCaI), so hopefully you'll enjoy trying out some different ones! Have a lovely day! 😃
I have Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and have started your yin yoga videos this week. Being on the older side and very very stiff, i find it challenging but feel great afterwards. Im sure I feel less stiff in the mornings and a little bit more flexible. keep up the good work. im working towards sitting crossed legged , which ive never really been able to do.x
You are so welcome Lynne! I'm so happy you feel good afterwards, and well done to you for taking up this challenge! I do have a 10-minute video to focus on finding more comfort cross-legged, which you may like to try (ruclips.net/video/kBppUQIGMw0/видео.html). And if you're interested, I also have a whole 7-day program for fibromyalgia that you can take at your own pace and includes a longer, slower yin yoga practice (here's a special discount for it if you'd like: www.udemy.com/course/yoga-for-fibromyalgia/?couponCode=RUclips-COUPON) See you soon! 💐😃
Hi Joelle Thank you so so much. I actually found you because of your fibro focused videos and would love more. Know that you are helping people as far as South Africa 🇿🇦 Nanaste Rita Rita
Thank you so much Rita, I'm so glad you enjoy practicing together! If you haven't already, you might enjoy exploring my RUclips playlist of practices for chronic pain (this one: tinyurl.com/yea9me8n) or I do have a complete program for fibromyalgia, too (tinyurl.com/yx7x2usu) How wonderful to hear from you in South Africa, I'm waving back to you all the way from Germany! 🇩🇪🇿🇦
I do feel a lot better after this. Recently I've been in a lot of pain for no apparent reason. Holding the poses seemed more helpful than a vinyasa type yoga.Thank you!
I do yoga everyday to your videos and it has truly helped me. Thank you so much i went from your 10 min to your 20 in a week. I was riddled with pain and some days i couldnt even walk or move so thank you.
Just what I needed even though I had to push myself to finish. I’ve had a flare up for the past 3 days with severe fatigue and pain 😩 Thank you Joelle for helping me feel some better!!!
It would be wonderful if all the fibromyalgia and chronic pain were in a category of their own. Spend a lot of time searching for them to alternate days. Thanks!
Hi Stacy, they actually are! If you go to the Playlists page on my channel I have a list for all my chronic pain practices. It's this one: tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba
I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I used to love exercise because of the way that it makes me feel, but have been very limited in my exercise due to pain. I was told that stretching and yoga were great exercises to alleviate fibro pain so I began hunting for exercises specifically for fibromyalgia. Although I seem very stiff right now (first time in a long time to stretch), these exercises felt great and seemed to alleviate the pain I was experiencing... especially in my hips and lower back. Thank you!!! Great video!!
I'm so happy to hear that Sandy!! It's so sad when we feel limited, but I absolutely believe fibromyalgia does not mean we still can't move in a way that is right for our bodies. In case you haven't seen it already, I also have a second video for fibro that moves a little bit faster (ruclips.net/video/ZujgWC7JbUA/видео.html), as well as a "what is fibromyalgia" quick video you might find interesting (ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html). All the best to you, and well done!! 🍀
Hi, I have performed these series of stretches for 2 weeks, the chronic body pain I have suffered for years isn't as painful and my leg that hurt mostly all the time isn't hurting all the time. Thank you
I just started your 7 day course for fibromyalgia and I already love it just after day 1. thank you. I used to be a regular practitioner of yoga before I developed fibro and it's been a real struggle to find a suitable and sustainable practice since... been nearly 9 years now without. this finally feels like something I can do.
I’ve tried other yoga in the past and it was really rough on my body. I love this channel 🙌🏻 my fibro pain is centered in my hips and shoulders. This helps me so much. Thank you!
I’ve been struggling with my Fibromyalgia. I started with the 10 min practice and now am using this 20 min practice every morning. I realized a difference on the first day. I would love if you did a 30 min yin practice for meditation and fibromyalgia. It was very helpful to hear encouragement about what we are doing for our condition during practice. Namaste.
I'm so happy to hear this practice and the 10-minute one are helping you, well done Lydia! If you haven't already, you might enjoy checking out my 7-day program for fibromyalgia, which also includes a longer yin practice: tinyurl.com/8iy2ovqw
Thanks so much for this! I love the restorative poses...having dealt with fibro and chronic pain for many years, I am so grateful to you for addressing these issues. This really helps to get back in touch with my body!
thank you .you are helping me. I love yoga and missed being able to do. but am definitely getting more flexible and it's helping my pains. lot in back and hips ,so this was awesome!
I have a short attention span so I can never manage to meditate. But I know my mind needs it and my body desperately needs your videos so I combine yoga with meditation through your videos. Everyday they help me with my Chronic pain. I wanted to say a big thank you
I'd love to know if you enjoyed this yin yoga sequence for fibromyalgia. Would you like more yin yoga sequences? Or more yoga for fibromyalgia sequences? Let me know, and great job! 💪🍀 Also check out my 10-minute routine for fibromyalgia (ruclips.net/video/ZujgWC7JbUA/видео.html) and my "What is Fibromyalgia?" video (ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html)
Thank you for this video! I have been doing it daily and it seems to help me so much! Plus the relaxation is so needed! Looking forward to doing more yoga for fibromyalgia 😊
You're very welcome Lisa! Well done to you for practicing so consistently and taking care of yourself! I do have more practices for fibromyalgia and chronic pain in this playlist if you'd like to explore others as well: tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba See you on the mat again soon 😊
I am just exiting a severe flare and have been dreading trying yoga or stretching since I just ache so much. This sequence helped to relieve some of the stress of my pain and I felt relaxed for the first time in months. thank you
I have fibromyalgia and your videos have been helpful in managing my pain and also reminding me to breathe. It is helpful to hear that fibromyalgia is not in control, I am. Do you have any poses to manage heel pain? I often get a stabbing pain in my left heel. Thank you again. 🙏🏿
Hi Lori, I'd suggest trying the plantar fasciitis practice to see if it helps, as that's often closely linked to heel pain. Here's the link for that: ruclips.net/video/kYqnbQNzxko/видео.html
Thank you this was wonderful, I’ve been doing your ten minute fibromyalgia video and today is my first day trying the 20 minute. Still having pain but it’s much more manageable
I'm so glad you like these, thanks for practicing with me! If you use the search function on my channel page you can look up keywords like "neck" or "sciatica" to find the videos I already have, and there will certainly be more to come. Here is a yin yoga class for sciatica in case you haven't seen it yet: ruclips.net/video/UUSiGxOKEEA/видео.html
I'm glad you liked it! Do you mean other classes for fibromyalgia? If so then yes I do! There's a playlist for chronic pain on my channel, or type "yoga with joelle fibromyalgia" into RUclips and you'll find several others 😉
this was perfect. I've been searching different sites for gentle stretching yoga type exercises. I appreciate this style of holding the poses longer. I have fibromyalgia and autoimmune issues. This is great, thank you. Do you have poses that target neck and upper back, shoulders? I have migraines and that area seems very stressed. 🙏
I'm so glad you liked it Heidi! You may like to try some of the other yin yoga practices on my channel. And yes, I do have a whole playlist of practices for the upper body as well. If you head to my playlists page (ruclips.net/user/YogawithJoelleplaylists), you'll be able to see them all organized by category and see what may suit your needs best 😉
Hi Lori! Here's a video that works on the length of the entire back that would be a good one to try: ruclips.net/video/ZY7SrbBxaxA/видео.html And you might also like to browse through my playlist of practices for the spine to see if other classes catch your eye: tinyurl.com/ykhswabu I hope that helps!
Absolutely! If you'd like, I have a 5-minute gentle surya namaskar practice that could pair really well after this one: ruclips.net/video/Himm8_FQe4Y/видео.html
Hi Joelle, I've been using a number of your sequences recently to help with chronic pain and was wondering if you had any practices for chronic pain that took into account hypermobility. I have heard that some stretching and yoga can set off flares if you also have hypermobility so was wondering if you had anything specific to that :) Thank you so much.
Hi there, I'm afraid not! I'm not hypermobile myself, but some general advice is to keep a very slight bend in your joints where possible. So long as you're not bearing excessive weight on your joints, Yin yoga can be a lovely practice for many people, especially if you can balance it with some strength work. So most of the chronic pain practices on my channel should be adaptable to hypermobility, but of course if you're unsure about specific poses feel free to leave me a comment and I'll see if I can help with any specific guidance!
I found out 2 weeks ago I have lupus and fibromyalgia,more the second one the the first. After so many yrs without being sick, no fevers (ever) it came down to this.... I'm still mad and unwelcoming to it. 1yr ago I was lifting weights and going to the gym :( today I could barely touch my toes without pain. I'm thankful I found this video, I know things will get better.
Thanks for sharing your story Liz. I understand that this can be so frustrating, and I love your attitude about knowing things will get better - that's exactly the way we should all be thinking! I have a few other videos on fibromyalgia (ruclips.net/video/-aTKGnewstI/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/ZujgWC7JbUA/видео.html), as well as a whole 7-day series of Yoga for Fibromyalgia (www.udemy.com/course/yoga-for-fibromyalgia/?couponCode=8DFC34B0731FCC006CF9) in case you haven't tried them already. I'm not as familiar with lupus, but I can do a bit of research to see if it makes sense to make another video on that. All the best to you! 🌞

I understand how frustrating it can be to have these questions. You might like to watch my video on Living with Fibromyalgia (ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html) to see if it speaks to you at all. I hope it helps 🌟
I have a lot of pain in my wrist planting my hands to the ground like for table top or downward dog. How can I do these poses without the pain? Thank you. 💖
Good questions, Susie. One option is to try putting your fists to the mat instead of flat palms, or you can try holding something instead of flattening the palm (I'm found that handweights work particularly well for this). I would also recommend building up some wrist strength - you might like to try my wrist pain sequence (ruclips.net/video/mxnFc-bDJQc/видео.html), which doesn't place any weight on the wrists, to see what may feel best and helpful for your situation. I hope that helps!!
No, I've never said that it ends fibromyalgia; this is about taking care of yourself. You might like to watch this video to learn more about living with fibromyalgia: ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html
Always modify to suit your body's needs! You're welcome to just do one arm at a time if that feels better to you 😊 Well done for listening to yourself.

Thank you Joelle, your videos are the best. I also have COPD and since doing your videos for fibro, I’ve noticed my lungs are more open and it’s easier to breathe. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am so glad to hear that Kat, what a great thing to observe about yourself! 🙏
This was lovely. Thank you. It felt very meditative and restorative. It helped me feel less antagonistic toward my pain and more compassionate and loving toward my body.
Oh that's lovely, I'm so glad Christa. 🌟
I've been battling yoga for years. Your videos have been helping me SO much! THANK YOU! 💜💜
I've shared some of your videos with my fibromyalgia support group. I'm hoping you can help them too.
Your voice is much more soothing than other videos I've found. Much easier to relax to.
Oh thank you Sharon, I'm so glad to hear this. Truly appreciate your help in spreading the word, too, I hope they can help more people. See you soon on the mat ✨🌺
This is helping me so much, especially as I am having a particularly troublesome flare up. Not only is it bringing relief to my body but also my mind. Thank you so much Joelle x
So glad to hear it has been helpful!
Another wonderful session 🤗 pain in my left arm has started to alleviate and if i keep at this I'm sure my other arm muscle pain will improve too - thankyou Joelle ❤️ may you be happy, blessed and healthy ❤️
I'm so happy to hear this, thank you for letting me know Nadia! A big gold star to you for taking good care of yourself with consistent practice 🌟
Thank you for your wonderfully healing energy ♥️🙏
You're welcome, thank you for your kind words ✨
Thank you!!! I have finally found something that I can do. I've had 10 left knee surgeries so my mobility isn't great. I feel so much better after doing yoga with you. I can't thank you enough. 🌼🌼
Wonderful Lori, happy to hear this one resonated with you and hope to practice together again soon ✨✨
Dear Joelle, I'm so happy to have found your videos just a few weeks ago. I can't believe you have fibromyalgia, and you are in such great shape and a yoga instructor! That's amazing!!! I have had it as well since about 13 years. I need gentle exercise, which is why I love your style. I'll be discovering more of your different wonderful yoga videos. Thank you for what you do.
Hi Susana, so great to have you in the community! Thank you for sharing your story, and good for you for taking good care of yourself. You may have seen already, but in case you haven't, I have a full playlist of videos for chronic conditions (this one: ruclips.net/p/PL9wzuXltV200U9GfONbt7FXtsiE4VnCaI), so hopefully you'll enjoy trying out some different ones! Have a lovely day! 😃
I have Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and have started your yin yoga videos this week. Being on the older side and very very stiff, i find it challenging but feel great afterwards. Im sure I feel less stiff in the mornings and a little bit more flexible. keep up the good work. im working towards sitting crossed legged , which ive never really been able to do.x
You are so welcome Lynne! I'm so happy you feel good afterwards, and well done to you for taking up this challenge! I do have a 10-minute video to focus on finding more comfort cross-legged, which you may like to try (ruclips.net/video/kBppUQIGMw0/видео.html). And if you're interested, I also have a whole 7-day program for fibromyalgia that you can take at your own pace and includes a longer, slower yin yoga practice (here's a special discount for it if you'd like: www.udemy.com/course/yoga-for-fibromyalgia/?couponCode=RUclips-COUPON) See you soon! 💐😃
Hi Joelle
Thank you so so much. I actually found you because of your fibro focused videos and would love more.
Know that you are helping people as far as South Africa 🇿🇦

Thank you so much Rita, I'm so glad you enjoy practicing together! If you haven't already, you might enjoy exploring my RUclips playlist of practices for chronic pain (this one: tinyurl.com/yea9me8n) or I do have a complete program for fibromyalgia, too (tinyurl.com/yx7x2usu) How wonderful to hear from you in South Africa, I'm waving back to you all the way from Germany! 🇩🇪🇿🇦
I do feel a lot better after this. Recently I've been in a lot of pain for no apparent reason. Holding the poses seemed more helpful than a vinyasa type yoga.Thank you!
That's lovely to hear Susan, well done! Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
I do yoga everyday to your videos and it has truly helped me. Thank you so much i went from your 10 min to your 20 in a week. I was riddled with pain and some days i couldnt even walk or move so thank you.
That's wonderful Jennifer, well done! Good for you for taking care of yourself, hope to see you on the mat again soon 🌟
Just what I needed even though I had to push myself to finish. I’ve had a flare up for the past 3 days with severe fatigue and pain 😩 Thank you Joelle for helping me feel some better!!!
Fantastic job Lisa! Good for you for recognizing that your body would feel better after some nice stretches. Gold star to you 🌟
It would be wonderful if all the fibromyalgia and chronic pain were in a category of their own. Spend a lot of time searching for them to alternate days. Thanks!
Hi Stacy, they actually are! If you go to the Playlists page on my channel I have a list for all my chronic pain practices. It's this one: tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba
Your video is my first time trying yin yoga. It has greatly improved my fibro flare up today, thank you ♥️🙏
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I hope you continue to enjoy it! 🙏
I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I used to love exercise because of the way that it makes me feel, but have been very limited in my exercise due to pain. I was told that stretching and yoga were great exercises to alleviate fibro pain so I began hunting for exercises specifically for fibromyalgia. Although I seem very stiff right now (first time in a long time to stretch), these exercises felt great and seemed to alleviate the pain I was experiencing... especially in my hips and lower back. Thank you!!! Great video!!
I'm so happy to hear that Sandy!! It's so sad when we feel limited, but I absolutely believe fibromyalgia does not mean we still can't move in a way that is right for our bodies. In case you haven't seen it already, I also have a second video for fibro that moves a little bit faster (ruclips.net/video/ZujgWC7JbUA/видео.html), as well as a "what is fibromyalgia" quick video you might find interesting (ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html). All the best to you, and well done!! 🍀
I will definitely try this one tomorrow morning ☕☕☕
I did it and it was so relaxing ❤️
Fantastic! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Hi, I have performed these series of stretches for 2 weeks, the chronic body pain I have suffered for years isn't as painful and my leg that hurt mostly all the time isn't hurting all the time. Thank you
Wonderful job! I'm so happy to hear it's helping, well done to you for practicing consistently and taking care of yourself 🌟
Thank you for this practice!!
You're so welcome Aisha! ✨✨✨
Nicely done Joelle and am still interested in a 30-45 minute yoga for FM. I love your videos.❤
Thank you so much Jenny! I've got a 30-minute practice as part of my complete program for FM here: tinyurl.com/yx7x2usu 😉
I just started your 7 day course for fibromyalgia and I already love it just after day 1. thank you. I used to be a regular practitioner of yoga before I developed fibro and it's been a real struggle to find a suitable and sustainable practice since... been nearly 9 years now without. this finally feels like something I can do.
This makes me SO happy! Thanks for the lovely and encouraging comment 😊
@@YogawithJoelle thank you 🙂 day 3 done.
I’ve tried other yoga in the past and it was really rough on my body. I love this channel 🙌🏻 my fibro pain is centered in my hips and shoulders. This helps me so much. Thank you!
Thank you for practicing with me Rachel, I'm so glad to hear it! 🙌
I’ve been struggling with my Fibromyalgia. I started with the 10 min practice and now am using this 20 min practice every morning. I realized a difference on the first day. I would love if you did a 30 min yin practice for meditation and fibromyalgia. It was very helpful to hear encouragement about what we are doing for our condition during practice. Namaste.
I'm so happy to hear this practice and the 10-minute one are helping you, well done Lydia! If you haven't already, you might enjoy checking out my 7-day program for fibromyalgia, which also includes a longer yin practice: tinyurl.com/8iy2ovqw
I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and your sequence is so helpful for me ,stress reliefing and extremely calming keep going
I'm so happy to hear that it's helpful, well done to you :)
Thanks so much for this! I love the restorative poses...having dealt with fibro and chronic pain for many years, I am so grateful to you for addressing these issues. This really helps to get back in touch with my body!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for joining me Ginna ✨
thank you .you are helping me. I love yoga and missed being able to do. but am definitely getting more flexible and it's helping my pains. lot in back and hips ,so this was awesome!
That's such wonderful news, I'm so pleased for you!
Thank you 🙏🏼
It was the first time I’ve tried this and I cried, not sure why.
Thank you for sharing this! 🙏
I loved it, thank you.
I have a short attention span so I can never manage to meditate. But I know my mind needs it and my body desperately needs your videos so I combine yoga with meditation through your videos. Everyday they help me with my Chronic pain. I wanted to say a big thank you
Your videos help me with meditating as I do the yoga because my body is moving. So I get pain relief, meditation, relaxation
@@paigemulleman469 That's wonderful to hear! Meditation and slow moving yoga can be a wonderful combination for both the body and mind!
I'd love to know if you enjoyed this yin yoga sequence for fibromyalgia. Would you like more yin yoga sequences? Or more yoga for fibromyalgia sequences? Let me know, and great job! 💪🍀 Also check out my 10-minute routine for fibromyalgia (ruclips.net/video/ZujgWC7JbUA/видео.html) and my "What is Fibromyalgia?" video (ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html)
Yoga with Joelle I enjoyed both videos so much, I have Fibro and back and neck issues, I enjoyed both videos, thank You🙏🏻
@@stardust430 I'm so glad you liked them, well done!!
Liking the Yin!
Yay, so glad to hear it Carol!
Thanks Joelle 😊
The link between being immobile and mobility .. thank you 🙏🏼
So glad you enjoyed it, well done Sue 🙏
Thank you for this video! I have been doing it daily and it seems to help me so much! Plus the relaxation is so needed! Looking forward to doing more yoga for fibromyalgia 😊
You're very welcome Lisa! Well done to you for practicing so consistently and taking care of yourself! I do have more practices for fibromyalgia and chronic pain in this playlist if you'd like to explore others as well: tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba See you on the mat again soon 😊
I am just exiting a severe flare and have been dreading trying yoga or stretching since I just ache so much. This sequence helped to relieve some of the stress of my pain and I felt relaxed for the first time in months. thank you
Well done Stacie, so glad it helped
EXCELLENT! Very helpful. Thank you
You're very welcome!
i love this video, is a beautiful morning wakeup for those with fibro
Yay! Well done setting the tone for a great day ahead 😊
Thank you Joelle💚🙏
Thanks!
I have fibromyalgia and your videos have been helpful in managing my pain and also reminding me to breathe. It is helpful to hear that fibromyalgia is not in control, I am. Do you have any poses to manage heel pain? I often get a stabbing pain in my left heel. Thank you again. 🙏🏿
Hi Lori, I'd suggest trying the plantar fasciitis practice to see if it helps, as that's often closely linked to heel pain. Here's the link for that: ruclips.net/video/kYqnbQNzxko/видео.html
Thank you...
You're welcome! 🌞
Thanks this vedio it helps my fibromyalgia..
Glad to hear that! 😉
Thank you!❤
You're so welcome! 💫
Thank you this was wonderful, I’ve been doing your ten minute fibromyalgia video and today is my first day trying the 20 minute. Still having pain but it’s much more manageable
Wonderful job Catie! I'm so proud of you, this is a huge accomplishment. Hope to see you again soon as you explore more videos 😊
@@YogawithJoelle you definitely will!
Thanks for your time, my body is not flexible as before and any movement have pain . Would you please do more in neck and sciatic area as well.
I'm so glad you like these, thanks for practicing with me! If you use the search function on my channel page you can look up keywords like "neck" or "sciatica" to find the videos I already have, and there will certainly be more to come. Here is a yin yoga class for sciatica in case you haven't seen it yet: ruclips.net/video/UUSiGxOKEEA/видео.html
more of these videos please
Thank you, I'm really glad you liked it! 😊
thank you ❤
You're so welcome 😊
I really enjoy this sequence. Do you have any others?
I'm glad you liked it! Do you mean other classes for fibromyalgia? If so then yes I do! There's a playlist for chronic pain on my channel, or type "yoga with joelle fibromyalgia" into RUclips and you'll find several others 😉
this was perfect. I've been searching different sites for gentle stretching yoga type exercises. I appreciate this style of holding the poses longer. I have fibromyalgia and autoimmune issues. This is great, thank you. Do you have poses that target neck and upper back, shoulders? I have migraines and that area seems very stressed. 🙏
I'm so glad you liked it Heidi! You may like to try some of the other yin yoga practices on my channel. And yes, I do have a whole playlist of practices for the upper body as well. If you head to my playlists page (ruclips.net/user/YogawithJoelleplaylists), you'll be able to see them all organized by category and see what may suit your needs best 😉
Can you do a video of full back yoga stretches to eliminate back spasms if you haven't done one like that already
Hi Lori! Here's a video that works on the length of the entire back that would be a good one to try: ruclips.net/video/ZY7SrbBxaxA/видео.html And you might also like to browse through my playlist of practices for the spine to see if other classes catch your eye: tinyurl.com/ykhswabu I hope that helps!
Hi thanks for this nice video. Can I do surya namaskar after these pose
Absolutely! If you'd like, I have a 5-minute gentle surya namaskar practice that could pair really well after this one: ruclips.net/video/Himm8_FQe4Y/видео.html
Hi Joelle, I've been using a number of your sequences recently to help with chronic pain and was wondering if you had any practices for chronic pain that took into account hypermobility. I have heard that some stretching and yoga can set off flares if you also have hypermobility so was wondering if you had anything specific to that :) Thank you so much.
Hi there, I'm afraid not! I'm not hypermobile myself, but some general advice is to keep a very slight bend in your joints where possible. So long as you're not bearing excessive weight on your joints, Yin yoga can be a lovely practice for many people, especially if you can balance it with some strength work. So most of the chronic pain practices on my channel should be adaptable to hypermobility, but of course if you're unsure about specific poses feel free to leave me a comment and I'll see if I can help with any specific guidance!
I found out 2 weeks ago I have lupus and fibromyalgia,more the second one the the first. After so many yrs without being sick, no fevers (ever) it came down to this.... I'm still mad and unwelcoming to it. 1yr ago I was lifting weights and going to the gym :( today I could barely touch my toes without pain. I'm thankful I found this video, I know things will get better.
Thanks for sharing your story Liz. I understand that this can be so frustrating, and I love your attitude about knowing things will get better - that's exactly the way we should all be thinking! I have a few other videos on fibromyalgia (ruclips.net/video/-aTKGnewstI/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/ZujgWC7JbUA/видео.html), as well as a whole 7-day series of Yoga for Fibromyalgia (www.udemy.com/course/yoga-for-fibromyalgia/?couponCode=8DFC34B0731FCC006CF9) in case you haven't tried them already. I'm not as familiar with lupus, but I can do a bit of research to see if it makes sense to make another video on that. All the best to you! 🌞
I wish More fibro Lessions 🥰🥰
Hi Judith, I'm glad you liked it! You might like to try my 7-day Yoga for Fibromyalgia online course, which includes morning and evening routines, chair routines, and a longer yin yoga routine as well. You can get a special discount here: www.udemy.com/course/yoga-for-fibromyalgia/?couponCode=YT-SPECIAL
Why do I have this? What started it? How can I fully cure myself?
I understand how frustrating it can be to have these questions. You might like to watch my video on Living with Fibromyalgia (ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html) to see if it speaks to you at all. I hope it helps 🌟
I have a lot of pain in my wrist planting my hands to the ground like for table top or downward dog. How can I do these poses without the pain? Thank you. 💖
Good questions, Susie. One option is to try putting your fists to the mat instead of flat palms, or you can try holding something instead of flattening the palm (I'm found that handweights work particularly well for this). I would also recommend building up some wrist strength - you might like to try my wrist pain sequence (ruclips.net/video/mxnFc-bDJQc/видео.html), which doesn't place any weight on the wrists, to see what may feel best and helpful for your situation. I hope that helps!!
this yoga ends the fibromyalgia ??? 🥺how much time it takes
No, I've never said that it ends fibromyalgia; this is about taking care of yourself. You might like to watch this video to learn more about living with fibromyalgia: ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html
When you have fibromyalgia shoulders can hurt as well. Putting the arms under your body in different directions was intolerablly painful. Had to stop
Always modify to suit your body's needs! You're welcome to just do one arm at a time if that feels better to you 😊 Well done for listening to yourself.
Thanks for putting this video together. I have to turn the sound down and put on music, you talk way too much :D
You're most welcome!
Do you actually have fibro? These positions are awful and would leave me incapacitated for days
Sorry to hear this wasn't for you! And yes, I've shared my fibro story in this video : ruclips.net/video/yFg5HF07au8/видео.html
