This is something I found so comforting during the Chronic Pain Module from Yoga Therapy Teacher Training course I completed.\u00a0 Yes, studies have shown that practice of gentle but consistent yoga practice can actually help one manage chronic pain.<\/p>\n

Here is an excellent article <\/a>explaining HOW.\u00a0 Here’s a Harvard study that recommends yoga – standing, seated, reclining and meditation – for\u00a0arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine, low back pain, to mention some conditions prone to light, dull to debilitating pain.\u00a0 Not all yoga would do – some yoga styles may actually aggravate the condition unless the practice is modified or customized for that student’s particular needs.<\/p>\n
