I cannot believe we are halfway through yet another very strange year! For most people it has been 18 months of continually adjusting. Although for a growing number of people adjusting comes at a much higher price.
Here at Absolute Yoga and Pilates we are receiving a much higher number of enquiries from people who are suffering from Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, and other chronic fatigue related conditions. These people have been recommended to try yoga or Pilates by their GP or specialist to regain some control in their lives and manage their conditions.
We are also hearing more about the long-term effects of Covid-19 now known as ‘Long Covid’ or post Covid Related Fatigue. Research is being carried out throughout the world, monitoring patients, their symptoms, and the slow recovery process.
As fitness professionals most of our training has been to encourage people to be more active and exercise more frequently. However, this approach will not work for people suffering from fatigue related conditions. Clients presenting with these conditions may need to be less active and take more rests to manage the fatigue aspects of their illness and improve their quality of life.
Earlier this month Wendy and I completed specialist CPD training for clients presenting with chronic fatigue conditions including Fibromyalgia and Long Covid. This training has been a revelation to our thinking and will re-shape the lessons we teach. I would urge all Fitness Professionals to take this training or similar training. Our world is changing, and we need to change with it.

Here are some of the benefits of going to a dedicated Yoga, Pilates, or Tai Chi class for someone suffering from a chronic fatigue condition.
Where to go and what to do:
Finding a class or (gym) who are sympathetic to your individual needs and making you welcome can be difficult. Most classes are taught with the attitude ‘go big, go strong or go home’. This simply will not work, it is not realistic, welcoming or kind. Here are Absolute Yoga and Pilates, we promise to be realistic, welcoming and most importantly, kind.
If you are returning to ‘normal life’ after an illness, suffer from a chronic fatigue condition or are recovering from an injury we will be starting a dedicated ‘Pilates for Wellness’ class in September 2021.
