Yoga Support for Chronic Pain
This gentle resource is designed for people living with persistent or recurring pain who want a low-pressure way to explore movement, breathing and supported rest.
Inside the full guide is a 5-10 minute eight-pose reset using Seated Breathing, Shoulder Rolls, a Seated Side Bend, Cat-Cow, Supported Child, a supported Low Lunge, Legs on a Chair and a final Resting Pose. Each movement is explained with adaptations, and readers are encouraged to make the routine smaller rather than push through pain.
The PDF explores pacing, flare days, immediate and delayed responses to movement, sleep and stress, and how the nervous system can become more protective when pain persists. It makes clear that this does not mean pain is imagined: chronic pain is a real and complex experience involving the body, nervous system and wider life context.
There is a simple flare-day version for times when capacity is low, guidance on when changing or concerning symptoms need professional assessment, and information about the different professionals who may form part of a pain-management plan.
A seven-day pain and comfort tracker helps readers notice what they tried, how they felt immediately afterwards and whether symptoms changed later. The guide also includes evidence-informed sources and finishes with a supportive personal message from Maggie.
Yoga is presented as an optional wellbeing tool and not as a cure, medical treatment or replacement for individual healthcare advice.
Until next time, give yourself space to breathe.
With love, Maggie
