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.
Our Teachers
Becky Braybrook – Term time yoga teacher

I’m Becky
I qualified in 2010 with the British Wheel of Yoga and have also done additional training related to CFS with Fiona Agomba and Niki Gratrix (previous co-founder of the Optimum Health Clinic).
I teach gentle Hatha yoga and focus on restorative and integrative movement with emphasis on working with the breath.
I taught the Monday yoga class previously up until April 2023.
I had a break for about a year and am thrilled to be back teaching during term-time.
Tamsin Williams – Holiday yoga teacher

I’m Tamsin!
I’m a Scaravelli-inspired yoga teacher and I’ll be covering for Becky over the next five weeks.
I’ve been practising Scaravelli yoga for 25 years and teaching for five. This is a gentle form of yoga exploring Hatha postures with preparations and breath awareness. It is a mindful practice, paying attention to gravity and how the body can move with less effort and in a functional way.
I’ve taught people with Chronic Fatigue in a class called Gentle movement for people living with pain (yoga inspired) for the Worker’s Education Association at the Brighthelm centre in Brighton. For over four years I’ve been teaching a weekly class for people with a wide range of conditions.
