Yoga for Long COVID

Описание: Certified yoga therapist, Sarah Nelsen, guides participants through a third yoga video in her series tailored to meet the needs of those with Long COVID, ME/CFS, FM, and POTS. In this video, additional considerations have been incorporated for those who experience post-COVID pulmonary and cardiac complications. Timing outlined below.

Sarah prompts participants to conduct frequent body check-ins, and encourages pacing and breaks. This video also offers two options of participation based on where the participant is at with their energy envelope.

**Move at your own individualized pace. Exceeding your energy threshold may result in post-exertional malaise, and other regressive symptoms. Start low, go slow. **

While additional considerations for those with Long COVID have been reflected in this video (respiratory/cardiac concerns), pw ME/CFS, FM, and OI have also been included.
