Disclaimer: Yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If you experience any pain or discomfort, listen to your body, discontinue the activity, and ask for support from your medical team. If you engage in this exercise or exercise program, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, assume all risk of injury to yourself, and agree to release and discharge

I struggle with how to describe the fatigue. When people ask how I am, and I say, "I'm tired, " I either get, "You're always tired, " or "Oh yeah, I'm exhausted." I compare it to the feeling of getting sick with the flu, without the flu, all the time. For word finding difficulties, especially at work, I will say, "Let me think for a minute ..." without shame! It's taken a long time (10+yrs) for me to learn to put my priorities first (as far as when, how, and where I use my energy) and to ask for what I need.
