Certified yoga therapist, Sarah Nelsen, guides participants through a third yoga video in her series tailored to meet the needs of those with Long COVID, ME/CFS, FM, and POTS. In this video, additional considerations have been incorporated for those who experience post-COVID pulmonary and cardiac complications.

Sarah prompts participants to conduct frequent body check-ins, and encourages pacing and breaks. This video also offers two options of participation based on where the participant is at with their energy envelope.

**Move at your own individualized pace. Exceeding your energy threshold may result in post-exertional malaise, and other regressive symptoms. Start low, go slow. **

While additional considerations for those with Long COVID have been reflected in this video (respiratory/cardiac concerns), pw ME/CFS, FM, and OI have also been included.

Dr. Bateman: "It's not uncommon when patients seek medical attention, particularly at Bateman Horne Center where we are familiar with this illness, that their lives have come crashing down around them. This illness is characterized by exhaustion and low stamina, and low energy reserves. Increased symptoms from trying to do cognitive and physical tasks. Poor sleep. Aches and pains. Brain fog. Dizziness. Many symptoms that are disabling and make it very difficult to carry out normal activities."

Dr. Yellman: "We want to make sure that the whole world understands what this illness is. Knows how to diagnose it. Knows how to treat these people suffering from this with dignity and can provide meaningful clinical care. From that, hopefully more and more dollars will pour into research all across the world so that we can ultimately find a cure for this devastating illness."

Dr. Bateman: "The science supporting the underpinnings of the pathology of ME/CFS is huge. There are thousands of published papers looking at the science. Immunology. Virology. Metabalomics. What's happening on the cellular level. What's happening with cytokines. The problem is that the science hasn't translated to the clinicians. We have this gulf. That has been the mission of BHC, to reach across the gulf of ignorance and take the science to the clinicians so that they can then provide better patient care."
