Charlotte Wightman was very unwell with chronic fatigue syndrome in 2011, largely bedbound and unable to tolerate sound and light. She gradually made her way to recovery over several years, using a multifaceted approach.

Nutrition, balancing blood sugar, good quality sleep, deep rest and learning ways to soothe her nervous system we’re all essential elements in her recovery from CFS.

The many tools of yoga formed part of her recovery; restorative yoga, deep rest, gentle movement, calming breathing and meditation were so helpful that she trained to share these subtle tools with others in a similar situation. She now teaches yoga specifically for those recovering from CFS via zoom.
