Does anyone know if yoga is good for lyme?

I know using weights is key with the muscle weakness, but was curious if Yoga is good or would make it worse.

I wonder if Hot Yoga would get the toxins out. LOL

I would think any sort of movement and stretching and stress reduction would be great. Not just for lyme but in general!

I agree, Hot Yoga might bring on a nice (or bad) herx...

I think yoga is very beneficial for people who have Lyme. I do a lot of yoga except when I am treating Babesiosis.

For me personally, I think hot yoga would be detrimental during treatment.

Excessive heat for long periods of time makes me weak. I enjoy going into a steamroom, but I think a one hour or more hot yoga class would be too much for me during treatment.
