Phase 1 · Three Weeks on Fatigue and Temperature

Part of the 12 Week Adaptive Yoga Program for MS Fatigue

10 Minute Yoga Sequence for MS Fatigue

Ten minutes for a bad day. Nothing standing, and the humming breath at the end.

For the days when the long session is not going to happen. Ten minutes, nothing upright, and the humming breath practice at the end. Doing this instead of a full session is a complete way to practise: a fixed weekly quota is the opposite of what fatigue management asks for.

Wann hilfreich

Any day the longer session is too much, and any day fatigue is the main problem. Ten minutes on the floor or a bed. Practise in a cool room, at a moderate intensity, with breaks. Around three quarters of people with MS get a temporary worsening of symptoms when body temperature rises, and it usually settles within a day. A wall or chair for every standing position. On a bad fatigue day, do less rather than none. This is for people who walk independently or with one stick, alongside neurological care rather than instead of it.

Fatigue

The humming breath, in the dose the trial used. Four weeks of it twice daily produced the largest effect in this literature.

Effort

Almost none. That is the design rather than a limitation.

Availability

Ten minutes with no standing, no props and no floor transfer if you use a bed.

Ten minutes, nothing standing

Sit, move the spine a little, then lie down and hum.

Sukhasana

2 min

Schneidersitz

Sit however is comfortable, on a chair or the floor, in a cool room. Let the breath settle without changing it.

A minute or two of doing nothing in particular before deciding how much today can hold.

Marjaryasana

2 min

Katzenpose

Rounding the back on the out breath, seated over the thighs or on hands and knees.

Bitilasana

1 min

Kuh Haltung

Chest forward on the in breath, a few times. Or skip this and go straight to the wall.

The other direction, offered rather than required.

Viparita Karani

3 min

Das Siegel der Umkehr

Legs up a wall or a headboard, or knees bent with the feet on the bed. Both are the pose.

The position that costs the least and gives the most on a day when everything is expensive.

Bananasana

1 min

Banane

On your back, a long soft curve to one side, then the other.

A stretch with nothing held.

Savasana

2 min

Totenstellung

Lying flat. The humming breath here: in through the nose for five seconds, out with a low hum for fifteen, ten rounds. Then rest and get up slowly.

The breathing practice with the largest result in this field, in the shortest form that still delivers it.

Integration

Whenever it is needed, throughout the twelve weeks and afterwards. Using it instead of a main session on a bad day is pacing, not skipping.
