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.

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.

Yoga for Airway Clearance – a new course for people with CF
While studies to date have shown that exercise isn’t a substitute for airway clearance on its own, the two can potentially work together in a synergistic way to maximize the benefits of physiotherapy.
What are the chakras (and why do they matter to people with CF)?
The chakras can help us understand the physical and emotional messages we receive from our bodies, from our fundamental physiological needs to our creative needs that open the full-flower of our human potential.
The Joy of Going with the Flow
Living the life of a CF caregiver can be immensely rewarding, but also challenging. Yoga for Caregivers is all about letting go of the control of life that we hold onto so tightly, as we learn to find joy in surrendering to the flow.
