"How can i do this when in such pain" - The key is to start small with gentle stretches to energise and wake up body. for many it will be introducing body to exercise again, in a gentle form. As you become more flexible and willing to practice you can move on to shall we say bigger postures that work to rebuild muscle, tone body from inside out. Yoga is your personal journey and I personally feel it is a most valuable tool for not only those with Endometriosis but for anyone who wants to unite mind, body and spirit.

Find an activity that you enjoy. Your colleague may insist yoga is best for relaxation but if you find it more stressful than relaxing to hold those poses, forget it. Think of concept of play or what best suits your personality. For me rollerblading on beach is most fun activity I can think of – I finish relaxed and with a big smile on my face. If you find running a 10K relaxing or T’ai Chi is your thing, great. The more enjoyable exercise, more effective. But whatever you do, just do it!
