Yoga for Cystic Fibrosis
For wellness of body, mind, and spirit
Yoga is a uniquely valuable tool for managing Cystic Fibrosis due to its focus on breathwork and unity of body, mind, and spirit. A regular yoga practice improves strength, balance, and flexibility, and can even improve lung function. It helps give peace of mind by bringing us into the present moment, helping to relieve stress and anxiety. All of us can benefit from the tools that yoga gives us to improve our physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life.
CF Yogi provides yoga classes specific to the needs of the Cystic Fibrosis community.
About Us
A Virtual Yoga Studio for the CF Community
We offer FREE online yoga classes by the CF community, for the CF community. Unlike conventional livestreamed yoga classes, our class format uses two-way communication, so that teachers and students can communicate effectively with each other in the moment.
We aim to help our community learn from each other, as we navigate the ups and downs of living with this disease.
supporting the whole person
You Are More Than Your Diagnosis
Daily life with Cystic Fibrosis takes hours of treatments, diligent efforts at compliance, and a lot of conversations with doctors and insurance companies. Yoga gives us a chance to give our attention back to our whole selves, and to what we truly want to do and be.
Visit the blog to learn how yoga is helping us in our journeys with CF.
Gratitude in Having (and Being) Enough
The practice of gratitude can transform your everyday life. Rather than coveting what we don’t have, we find a refreshed appreciation for what we already own.
Speaking Honestly When the Truth Hurts (Satya)
As we practice satya (truthfulness) on our yoga mat, that means opening ourselves to the truth . . . and un-deceiving ourselves of beliefs that may be doing us harm.
Keep Choosing Kindness (Ahimsa)
When you’re living in a pandemic, your choices impact others in a real and permanent way. As a person with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), my health and well-being depends on others consistently choosing kindness over fear.
