Yoga support for Chronic pain
A choice-based sequence that supports comfortable movement without asking the body to force, stretch deeply or ignore pain signals.
About this resource
Pain is individual. Stay within a comfortable range, use support and stop if symptoms worsen. New, severe or unexplained pain needs professional assessment. The infographic offers eight accessible positions that may be completed as a sequence or chosen individually. There is no requirement to hold a posture for a set time; comfort, breathing and personal choice come first.
How to use it
· Choose a quiet, safe space and gather any cushions, blankets or a chair you may need.
· Begin with one or two positions and build only if the practice feels supportive.
· Breathe naturally; never hold the breath or force a stretch.
· Use the guide as a prompt, not a test. Skip or adapt any position.
Included positions
Seated breathing, Shoulder rolls, Seated side bend, Cat-cow, Supported child, Low lunge, Legs on chair, Resting pose.
Important safety note
This resource is for general education and wellbeing. It does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, numbness, unusual shortness of breath or feel unwell. Seek individual advice if you have a medical condition, recent surgery or injury, are pregnant, or are unsure whether a movement is appropriate.
Until next time, give yourself space to breathe.
With love, Maggie
