For many of us, yoga conjures an image of a class full of people, led by a bendy instructor with a calming voice. But there are other ways you can incorporate the practice of yoga into your day, and indeed ways that you can privately practice without even leaving your bed.
I spoke to Sophia Drozd, a yoga teacher and founder of the Yoga for Pain app, which makes yoga accessible for people with chronic illnesses. Drozd’s app is full of short to medium-length classes, yoga that can be performed in a chair or on the floor, plus breathwork and meditation for those low-energy days when movement feels out of reach. I have a chronic illness, so I was particularly interested in Drozd’s series of bed yoga classes.
