A person with chronic back pain or fibromyalgia could benefit from what is typically billed as “gentle” or “restorative” yoga. This type of yoga focuses on well-being and balance, gently easing out kinks and painful areas without the strenuous flow of poses you might see in other styles. Also a gentle yoga practice will rely heavily on props (i.e., pillows, blankets, blocks, straps, bolsters, etc.) to assist the practitioner in achieving a pose or a modified version of a pose. The fitness benefits may be somewhat reduced, but often this type of yoga can help a practitioner heal from an injury or condition, whereupon she will be ready for more physical forms.
