Yoga for Chronic Fatigue — Our History

Yoga for Chronic Fatigue, originally called Yoga for ME, was founded in 1995 by two local members of the Kent and Sussex ME Society.

The founders had experienced firsthand the health benefits of regular yoga practice and were inspired to share these benefits with others facing similar challenges.

Their vision was to create a supportive community where individuals coping with chronic fatigue could find relief and connection through yoga.

With the help of the Sussex ME Society, they found a yoga teacher who truly understood the unique needs of those managing chronic fatigue. Together, they secured a welcoming space at the Cornerstone Community Centre, where our classes have been held ever since. Over the years, the group has grown and evolved, reaching out to many who could benefit from our specialised approach.

Throughout our journey, we have been guided by three primary teachers: Janet, Amanda, and currently, Becky, who leads our classes during term time. In addition, several other dedicated instructors, including Hannah-Rose, Kay, Tiffany, and Tamsin, have contributed their expertise, stepping in to offer classes – some even online – whenever needed.

Our history is one of community, resilience, and a shared commitment to enhancing the lives of those living with chronic fatigue through the transformative power of yoga.
